# Apple Maps Search API Documentation

Apple Maps Search API Documentation Search Apple Maps for places around a point. Each place has its id (muid), place id, name, category, address, coordinates, phone, website, opening hours, one photo, the Apple and Yelp ratings as separate entries and the guides it appears in. Send the search text and the latitude and longitude of the center. Apple Maps has no paging: one request returns up to about 25 places, best match first. Use radius_km to keep only places within that distance. Every place has distance_km. Pass the id to the place and reviews endpoints. Cost: 1 credit per request. A search with no match and every error cost nothing.
