Look up Google Maps aerial view videos for any location, paid per call via Tempo.
What it does
This MPP (Micropayment Protocol) endpoint proxies the Google Maps Aerial View API's `videos:lookupVideo` method through Tempo's payment layer. It allows callers to retrieve pre-rendered aerial flyover videos for specified locations without needing a Google Maps API key — instead, each request is settled as a one-shot micropayment on the Tempo L2 chain (chainId 4217) using pathUSD.
The endpoint is live and returns a standard MPP 402 payment challenge. The settlement method is "tempo" with intent "charge", meaning each API call requires a single payment of 16,000 base units of pathUSD (pathUSD uses 6 decimals, so this equals $0.016 per request). The fee payer flag is set to true, meaning the gateway covers gas fees for the on-chain settlement. The underlying Google Maps Aerial View API typically accepts a location (address or coordinates) and returns metadata about available aerial view videos, including video URIs and rendering status.
No OpenAPI schema, documentation pages, or usage examples are available from the proxy itself. Callers should refer to the official Google Maps Aerial View API documentation for query parameter formats (e.g., `videoId` or `address` parameters). The proxy likely passes through query parameters to the upstream Google API and returns the Google response body directly.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Retrieve aerial flyover videos for real estate listings or property showcases
- —Embed aerial view videos of landmarks or destinations in travel applications
- —Provide visual context for geographic locations in mapping or navigation tools
- —Automate retrieval of aerial videos for urban planning or site analysis
Fit
Best for
- —Agents needing on-demand aerial video lookups without managing Google API keys
- —Applications that prefer per-call micropayment billing over subscription API keys
- —Developers integrating aerial view content into geo-aware workflows
Not for
- —Bulk batch processing of thousands of aerial video lookups (per-call cost adds up)
- —Real-time streaming or live aerial footage (this returns pre-rendered videos only)
- —Locations where Google has not generated aerial view content

Quality
The endpoint is live with a valid MPP 402 challenge, but there is no OpenAPI schema, no documentation, and no crawlable content from the proxy. Capabilities and request/response formats are inferred from the Google Maps Aerial View API naming convention. Pricing is clear from the challenge.
Warnings
- —No documentation or OpenAPI schema available from the proxy — all docs pages return 404
- —Request/response format inferred from Google Maps Aerial View API conventions; actual proxy behavior unverified
- —Currency address 0x20c0…8b50 assumed to be pathUSD with 6 decimals based on Tempo L2 conventions; if different, price calculation would change
