Mexico coverage FAQ.

Does Open Places API cover Mexico?

Yes. 2,962,869 places in Mexico are searchable today. Density, freshness, and field completeness vary by location.

Where does the Mexico place data come from?

From the Overture Maps Foundation Places dataset: open data backed by Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and TomTom. Open Places API follows Overture's monthly release cycle.

Can I add my own places in Mexico?

Yes. Account-owned layers let you add private records, correct base data, and suppress places, merged into every search your API keys make, on top of or instead of the Overture base.

What does it cost?

Plans are flat with hard caps: free for 10,000 searches a month, $19 for 30,000, $49 for 100,000, $249 for 1 million. When you hit the cap the API returns a 402 and stops. It never bills an overage.

Spotlights are editorial deep dives, not the edge of coverage. The API is global wherever the current Overture release has Places data; the coverage page has the full inventory.
