Places pricing
The price for the Place APIs is based on the number of API requests. The unit price
for each API request depends on the response fields you request in your API request and
the intended use for the result. For pricing information for the API and pricing
buckets, see Amazon Location Service pricing
page
There are four pricing buckets for Place APIs: Label, Core, Advanced, and Stored.
Label
The Label pricing bucket provides a cost-effective option to get address text and
PlaceID only. When you call the Autocomplete and Suggest APIs with
additionalFeature = []
or non-existent, the API returns PlaceID
(can be used to in a GetPlace request to retrieve additional information),
PlaceType, Title, and Address Label fields for both APIs, and QueryRefinements,
QueryType, and QueryId for Suggest API. In this case, you will be charged at the
Label price. Results cannot be stored permanently for this pricing bucket. See
Stored pricing bucket for long-term use cases.
Core
The Core pricing bucket supports the most common use cases for Place APIs. When you call the following, you will still be charged at the Core price:
-
SearchText
,Geocode
,ReverseGeocode
,SearchNearby
,GetPlace
API withadditionalFeature
=[]
or nonexistent -
Autocomplete
andSuggest
APIs withadditionalFeature
=Core
-
Geocode
withadditionalFeature
=SecondaryAddresses
orIntersections
-
ReverseGeocode
withadditionalFeature
=Intersections
-
GetPlace
withadditionalFeature
=SecondaryAddresses
The API returns full address components, categories, and other place details (when applicable). Refer to API reference for a full list of response fields. Results can't be stored permanently for this pricing bucket, see the Stored bucket for long-term use cases.
Advanced
The Advanced pricing bucket provides additional place or points-of-interest
details, such as business hours, contact information, and access points. When you
call SearchText, SearchNearby, GetPlace, Geocode, ReverseGeocode, and Suggest API
and include one of the following values in the additionalFeature
request field: Contact, Access, TimeZone, or Phonemes, the API returns corresponding
values for the additional information you have requested (for example,
opening_hours
and contact_details
,
access_restriction
and access_points
,
Phonemes
, or Timezone
). In this case, you will be
charged at the Advanced price. Results can be cached but not stored for long-term
use for this pricing bucket. Results cannot be stored permanently for this pricing
bucket. See Stored pricing bucket for long-term use cases.
Stored
You can store the Places results indefinitely for long-term use cases, such as
reusing the results to reduce on-demand API calls or for analytical purpose. To do
so, set intendedUse = Stored
in your API request. In this case, you
will be charged at the Stored price. The Stored pricing bucket supports all the
features listed above, therefore, the maximum price you will be charged for a single
Places API call is capped at the Stored price.
