The ArcGIS Places service is a location service that can search for businesses and geographic locations around the world. It can find, locate, and discover detailed information about each place. There are many categories to choose from to use as search filters. Icon resources are also provided with results to help style locations.

Billing occurs when places or place attributes are returned from a request.
For /places/near-point or /places/within-extent, you are charged once per request. You are charged for the initial request and all subsequent paging requests. The maximum number of results returned per request is 20.
For /places/place, the charges vary based on the attribute data available and the price group the field belongs to (Place attributes, Location attributes, Address attributes, or Details attributes). Each price group contains fields and you are only charged once for the entire set of fields in that group. For example, if you request multiple fields from the same group, you are only charged once. However, if you request two fields from different price groups, you are charged for both groups.
Note: Due to limitations with the underlying data source, the following fields will currently return null:
