Puerto Rico coverage FAQ.

Does Open Places API cover Puerto Rico?

Yes. 97,461 places in Puerto Rico are live in production search today. Coverage we list is coverage that answers: if a request can't be served, the API returns a clear error instead of partial results.

Where does the Puerto Rico place data come from?

From the Overture Maps Foundation Places dataset: open data backed by Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and TomTom. Open Places API tracks Overture's monthly releases and promotes each one after validation.

Can I add my own places in Puerto Rico?

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 100,000, $99 for 1 million. When you hit the cap the API returns a 402 and stops. It never bills an overage.
