## ⭐️ Top Updates

### [**Apple Maps API**](https://serpapi.com/apple-maps-api)

We’re excited to introduce the new Apple Maps API, bringing structured access to Apple Maps search results directly through SerpApi. This API allows developers to retrieve rich local data, including place names, addresses, GPS coordinates, ratings, reviews, photos, and categories, along with detailed metadata such as amenities, business hours, and available actions like ordering or booking. It also supports flexible geographic targeting using either a location or precise latitude and longitude coordinates, as well as advanced filters like sorting, open time, and refinement toggles. With clean JSON output and comprehensive place level insights, the Apple Maps API makes it easy to build location based applications, local discovery tools, and data driven services powered by Apple Maps results.
