Google Maps

What it does

Pulls public Google Maps data — business listings and review feeds — and returns structured results you can read in chat or in the playground output panel.

How it works

Google Maps is a native connector. No Google account is required. AINexLayer reads public place and review pages.

• Chat — describe a location, business type, or place URL. The agent runs the Google Maps scraper automatically.
• API Playground — open API Playground → Google Maps, pick a verb, fill in the form, and click Run.
