<Note>Create a live key with just a name in the [API dashboard](https://gmapscrawl.com/dashboard/api-keys). Live requests use your API allowance. Existing test keys return simulated responses and consume zero request units. Live access depends on your account, plan, and current capability availability. The published skill currently labels paid API/MCP new-work operations unavailable; do not assume live access from an OpenAPI entry or tool listing. See [availability](/concepts/availability).</Note>

Search records can include business details, contacts, reviews, and photo metadata when available. Missing fields remain null or carry a field state; a successful request does not guarantee every field is populated.
