The SafeGraph Places API (beta) is useful for looking up attributes of a point of interest (POI) by Placekey or location name. You can also search for POI by brand, NAICS code, address and more.

If there are any additional attributes or functions you may be interested in, please reach out to api@safegraph.com.

Placekey Scope

SafeGraph provides data for points of interests, so this version of the API supports only Placekeys with a POI encoding. Support for Placekeys with only the address encoding or the Where part is coming soon!

For Placekeys with only the Where Part (e.g. @5vg-7gq-tvz ) or only the Address Encoding (e.g. 223@5vg-7gq-tvz), the API will return an error.

Pay-as-you-go Pricing

The Places API is billed by the number of data records returned, at ~~$0.10~~ $0.05 USD per record.

Each record returned in a single API request will be billed separately. Note also that repeated queries for the same data will count as separate billable records.

Terms of Use

You may store the data from this API. But you may not expose the data in its current form or substantially similar form. For more information, please refer to the Data License Agreement.
