Hi there,

Thanks for your message.

The Search Nearby endpoint implements a Google Maps functionality that requires a query (e.g. grocery store) to filter the result set for the user. You can see how it looks on https://maps.google.com (on Desktop), right click somewhere on the map and select “Search nearby”. I hope it clarifies things. Feel free if you have any questions 😃

Thank you,
