SERP_API_KEYis an API key issued by SerpApi. To obtain it, create an account at SerpApi, then retrieve your private API key from the SerpApi dashboard. The key grants access to SerpApi's search result endpoints, which this toolkit uses to query Google Maps data. Free and paid tiers are available; the tier you select determines your monthly request quota. Developers must securely store the API key to authenticate their requests.
