q | string | Yes | Parameter defines the search query. You can use anything that you would use in a regular Baidu Maps search: a type of place, a business, a brand, or a landmark (e.g., 咖啡 (coffee), 酒店 (hotels), 星巴克 (Starbucks), or 故宫 (the Forbidden C |
c | string | No | Parameter defines the city to search in, with its Baidu Maps city code (e.g., 131 for Beijing, 289 for Shanghai, or 257 for Guangzhou). Head to the Baidu Maps cities page for the cities of China. Cities in other countries have codes t |
lat | string | No | Parameter defines the latitude to search near (e.g., 39.908776). Results are the places near these coordinates, and their distance field says how far each one is. In China, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Baidu Maps uses coordina |

page | string | No | Value is used to get results on a specific page. (e.g., 1 (default) is the first page of results, 2 is the 2nd page of results, 3 is the 3rd page of results, etc.). Baidu Maps returns up to 10 results per page. |

qstringrequiredParameter defines the search query. You can use anything that you would use in a regular Baidu Maps search: a type of place, a business, a brand, or a landmark (e.g., `咖啡` (coffee), `酒店` (hotels), `星巴克` (Starbucks), or `故宫` (the Forbidden City)). Without `c`, the query can include the city to search in (e.g., `上海 咖啡` for coffee in Shanghai).
cstringParameter defines the city to search in, with its Baidu Maps city code (e.g., `131` for Beijing, `289` for Shanghai, or `257` for Guangzhou). Head to the Baidu Maps cities page for the cities of China. Cities in other countries have codes too (e.g., `49872` for Paris): a search near their coordinates returns it in `search_information.city_code`. Without it, Baidu Maps searches in the city named in `q`, in China or abroad, or lists the cities with results in `cities`. With `lat` and `lon`, it searches in the city at the coordinates. With `lat` and `lon`, the city must be the one where the coord
latstringParameter defines the latitude to search near (e.g., `39.908776`). Results are the places near these coordinates, and their `distance` field says how far each one is. In China, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Baidu Maps uses coordinates shifted a few hundred meters from GPS coordinates, like all maps of mainland China (a system called GCJ-02). Parameter is required when using `lon` parameter. `c` is optional with coordinates: without it, the city at the coordinates is used. If it's set, it must be the city where the coordinates are.
lonstringParameter defines the longitude to search near (e.g., `116.39759`). Results are the places near these coordinates, and their `distance` field says how far each one is. In China, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Baidu Maps uses coordinates shifted a few hundred meters from GPS coordinates, like all maps of mainland China (a system called GCJ-02). Parameter is required when using `lat` parameter. `c` is optional with coordinates: without it, the city at the coordinates is used. If it's set, it must be the city where the coordinates are.
pagestringValue is used to get results on a specific page. (e.g., `1` (default) is the first page of results, `2` is the 2nd page of results, `3` is the 3rd page of results, etc.). Baidu Maps returns up to 10 results per page.
json_restrictorstringParameter defines the fields you want to include in the output, reducing payload size for faster response. See the JSON Restrictor documentation for more details.
