Is pagination supported for large search results?

Yes, the search response includes a next_page_token that can be passed in subsequent requests to retrieve more results.

Can I filter search results by specific criteria?

Yes, you can apply filters for venue type (e.g., cafe, gym), price level (0-4), minimum rating (0-5), and current opening status.

What do I need to run the Local Places skill?

You need a valid Google Places API key, the 'uv' package manager installed, and a configured .env file to host the local proxy server.

Does this skill work globally?

Yes, it leverages the global Google Places API, allowing you to search for locations and venues anywhere in the world.

How does the two-step location flow work?

The skill first resolves a text-based location (like 'Soho, London') into geographic coordinates, which are then used as a bias for the subsequent venue search.

About

Local Places is a specialized Claude Code Skill that enables AI-driven location discovery and venue information retrieval. By providing a local proxy to the Google Places API, it allows Claude to resolve vague location queries into precise coordinates and then search for specific venues—such as restaurants, cafes, or shops—with advanced filtering for ratings, price levels, and current operating status. This skill is ideal for developers building location-aware applications, planning itineraries, or integrating real-world venue data directly into their AI-assisted development workflows.
