What it does
Give the node a query and an optional location, and it returns one item per place with the title, category, rating, review count, address, phone, website, and GPS coordinates. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can find places on demand.
- Search Apple Maps for any business or point of interest
- Localize with a location and locale
- Control how many results to return
- Choose how much data to return per place: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

Output
Each place is returned as its own n8n item. The API returns more than ten fields per place, so the Output parameter lets you choose how much to return:
- Simplified (default): a compact object with
position,title,type,rating,reviews,address,phone,website,latitude,longitude, andplaceId. This mode is also used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool, to keep responses small. - Raw: every field the API returns for each place, using the original field names below.
- Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

| --- | --- | --- |
| position | integer | Rank in the results |
