All 4 Google Maps endpoints
Click any endpoint to open its console: fill the parameters and try it live — the payable URL opens in a new tab, ready for a browser wallet.
Top up once — then hammer all 4 endpoints with one key
One x402 payment funds a credit balance. Every call after that is a plain Bearer request: no signing, no chain round-trip, more requests per second. The same balance works on every fetcher.sh service.
