Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | No | byPlace | Choose how to enter the source places. |
| placeUrls | array | No | – | Google Maps place URLs, canonical ChIJ Place IDs, or legacy 0x…:0x… feature IDs. Mixed values are allowed (mode=byPlace). |
| searchQueries | array | No | – | Business, hotel, or landmark names to resolve and analyze (mode=byQuery). |
| location | string | No | – | City or area appended to every place name (mode=byQuery). |
| maxItems | integer | No | 100 | Maximum number of similar places to return across all sources. |
| similaritySource | string | No | auto | Auto uses Google's related carousel and falls back to same-category nearby places when the carousel has fewer than Min similar. Carousel never uses the fallback. Same category skips the carousel. |
| minSimilar | integer | No | 5 | In auto mode, use the same-category fallback when the carousel has fewer usable rows than this number and cannot already fill Max results. |
| categoryOverride | string | No | – | Use this category for the same-category fallback instead of the source place's own category. |
| minRating | number | No | – | Drop related places rated below this value. Places without a published rating are dropped when this is above zero. |
| minReviews | integer | No | – | Drop related places with fewer than this many reviews. |
Show the other 7 settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| maxDistanceKm | number | No | – | Keep only related places within this straight-line distance from the source. Requires published coordinates. |
| categoryFilter | string | No | – | Keep only places whose category list contains this text (case-insensitive). |
| sortBy | string | No | recommended | Order of the returned rows. Recommended keeps Google's carousel and search order. |
| deduplicate | boolean | No | true | Keep one row per place, using the canonical Place ID, then the feature ID, then name and coordinates. |
| includeDetails | boolean | No | true | Look up each returned place's own page for its canonical Place ID, address, website, phone, categories, plus code, photo count, and image. Adds one request per row and slows dense runs. |
| includeMedia | boolean | No | true | Include the image URL when Google publishes one. |
| language | string | No | en | Google Maps interface language. Affects names, categories, and the fallback category query. |

What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
