Pay-per-tile Google Street View imagery via MPP on Tempo L2
What it does
This endpoint serves individual Google Street View panorama tiles on demand, payable per request through the Micropayment Protocol (MPP) settled on Tempo L2 (chain ID 4217). Callers supply a panorama ID (`panoId`), zoom level (`z`), and tile coordinates (`x`, `y`) as URL path parameters and receive the corresponding image tile in response.
The endpoint is live and returns a standard MPP 402 challenge with intent "charge", meaning each tile fetch is a one-shot micropayment. The price is 2000 base units of pathUSD (token address 0x20c0…8b50, 6 decimals), which equals $0.002 per tile. The provider covers gas fees (feePayer: true), so callers only pay the tile price itself.
This is part of a broader Google Maps proxy suite hosted at googlemaps.mpp.tempo.xyz that exposes geocoding, directions, places, routes, tiles, weather, air quality, and more behind MPP paywalls. No API key management is required on the caller side — payment authorization replaces traditional API-key authentication. Documentation beyond the payment challenge is not available on the provider's site; usage follows standard Google Maps Street View tile conventions.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Fetching street-level imagery tiles for embedding in mapping applications
- —Building custom Street View experiences without managing Google API keys
- —Agent-driven visual inspection of locations using panorama imagery
- —Compositing full panoramas from individual tiles for analysis
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents needing programmatic street-level imagery access
- —Developers who prefer pay-per-call over API key quotas
- —Applications requiring fine-grained cost control on map tile fetches
Not for
- —Bulk downloading entire Street View coverage (cost adds up at $0.002/tile)
- —Use cases requiring metadata-only queries (e.g., coverage availability without imagery)
- —Offline or air-gapped environments that cannot settle crypto payments

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid MPP 402 challenge and clear pricing, but there is no documentation, no OpenAPI schema, no example responses, and no crawlable content beyond the payment challenge itself. Most usage details are inferred from URL structure and Google Maps conventions.
Warnings
- —No documentation available on the provider site (all pages return 404)
- —No OpenAPI or schema definition found
- —Response content type and format are inferred (likely image/jpeg or image/png) but unconfirmed
- —Currency token address not independently verified beyond the challenge payload
