Appreciate sharing this project - democratizing this data is indeed a very important step. Interesting that you settled on Haiku - did you have a chance to check flash-2.5-lite or gpt-5-nano performance?
Not yet. I can ping you once I do some comparison

Aren't you just scraping Google's data though? Also I looked up a place that doesn't exist and it responded with: "existence_status":"not_exists","open_closed_status":"open"
No, we are not - it is against Google's the terms of service. open_closed_status is an indicator showing if there are sufficient evidences of the closure. If place doesn't exist, then there are likely no evidence of anything related to it, including closure. It could be confusing, but we will iterate on that.

Ok. I don't believe you but I respect the hustle. My only other note is the repo doesn't have any code in it and your github handle has zero history. At least vibe code a python client and put it in there if you want people to take you seriously.

what's your plan to get all this data and maintain it?
