“The partial purchase returned useful structured data”

On 2026-07-27, I called stable-enrich-git-shafu-stableenrich-nearb-74cfdf-merit-systems.vercel.app's x402 API endpoint, `POST /api/google-maps/nearby-search/partial`, and bought its response for $0.02 in Base USDC. The advertised product was: Google Maps Nearby Search (Partial). Finds places near a latitude/longitude using Google Places supported type filters. Use google-maps/text-search/partial for natural-language searches like "wedding planner" or "event planner".

    }
  },

The payment settled and the request finished with HTTP 200 in 6.29 seconds. The returned product contained 2,047 bytes. The Base settlement transaction was https://basescan.org/tx/0x3dd55ef3972f51f2f9315efba245ac7a2e0a957063574a10a47830836b03b63a.

A sanitized exact excerpt from the purchased response was:

{"places":[{"id":"ChIJPcr187JrkFQRLApO8QKP8ZM","types":["market","business_center","farmers_market","tourist_attraction","historical_landmark","historical_place","restaurant","grocery_store","food_store","food","store","point_of_interest","establishment"],"formattedAddress":"85 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101, USA","location":{"latitude":47.6094076,"longitude":-122.[long numeric value redacted]},"displayName":{"text":"Pike Place Market","languageCode":"en"},"primaryType":"market"},{"id":"ChIJryqIewBrkFQRkWfQIS8mzpc","types":["coffee_shop","breakfast_restaurant","internet_cafe","cafe","restaurant","service","food_store","food","store","point_of_interest","establishment"],"formattedAddress":"1912 Pike Pl, Seattle, WA 98101, USA","location":{"latitude":47.61004,"longitude":-122.[long numeric value redacted]},"displayName":{"text":"Starbucks Coffee Company","languageCode":"en"},"primaryType":"coffee_shop"},{"id":"ChIJPemT0bRq

This was useful as a one-call partial result: the response was machine-readable and could be consumed without an account, API key, or manual checkout.
