Field catalog

A stable canonical record, even when sources vary.

Provider responses are normalized into versioned business records. Individual values are optional because public listing completeness changes by place and over time.

Identity

Stable record identifiers, place identifiers, business name, category, and Google Maps URL.

Location

Formatted address plus locality, region, postal code, country, coordinates, and service-area indicators when available.

Contact

Published phone numbers, website, and discovered public email or social links when enabled and available.

Reputation

Rating, rating count, price level, business status, opening hours, and review children returned by the selected operation.

Media

Photo or video metadata and source references returned by the selected operation; media availability varies by place.

Provenance

Source URL, observed timestamps, query context, normalization version, and fields needed to audit a dataset record.

Availability and responsible use

No field is guaranteed for every place. Data can be stale, incomplete, or changed by its source. Use provenance fields, respect suppression and deletion controls, and verify records before making consequential decisions.
