Place search

Search OpenStreetMap for places by keyword, optionally restricted to a bounding box or country. Returns ranked hits with coordinates and place type - e.g. coffee shops in a city, airports in a region. ?q=coffee&viewbox=-122.52,37.81,-122.35,37.70&bounded=1.

curl -i "https://agent402.tools/api/place-search?q=Eiffel+Tower&limit=3"

The response is HTTP 402 Payment Required with exact payment requirements. Any x402 v2 client pays automatically and retries:

Paid call (JavaScript agent)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const client = new x402Client();
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/api/place-search?q=Eiffel+Tower&limit=3");

Part of these workflows

This tool is one step in a curated multi-tool workflow - agents can fetch the whole sequence as an MCP prompt or call https://agent402.tools/api/skill-packs/{slug}/prompt.

• Location intel - Point at an address (or even a rough place name) and assemble the situational brief: precise coordinates, the canonical postal address, what's within walking distance, the live weather forecast, active NWS hazard alerts, and recent seismic activity. The deterministic 'what should I know about this place right now?' workup.
