Access is sales-led. The pricing page says there is no free tier, every plan is an annual commitment, and no OpenAPI description or API changelog was found.\n\n**Stadia Maps.** Public OpenAPI spec (11.1.0) with generated TypeScript and Python SDKs. Free plan is for development, testing and demos only.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Radar\n\n1. Send the key in the `Authorization` header with no `Bearer` prefix, and call `https://api.radar.io/v1`, not radar.com\n2. Use a publishable key for geocoding, search and routing. Keep the secret key for users, trips, geofences and beacons\n3. Call `/v1/search/autocomplete` for partial addresses and place names. `/v1/geocode/forward` is documented as best for complete addresses\n4. Set `units=metric` on routing calls. The default is imperial, with distances in feet\n5. Treat 429 as one of three things (rate limit, no state change or selective throttling) and 402 as usage exceeded. No Retry-After header is documented\n6. Do not keep geocoding, autocomplete or place results for more than 30 days\n\n### Stadia Maps\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Stadia-Auth \u003ckey\u003e` rather than in the URL\n2. Try Autocomplete v2 (1 credit) before a full geocode (20 credits) when a name is enough\n3. Check the dashboard's credit balance before retrying a 429, since it may mean the month is spent\n4. Don't write geocodes to a database on Free or Starter\n5. Use bulk-geocode for addresses only, not POI names\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Radar or Stadia Maps?\n\nStadia Maps scores 65.2 (B) on agent readiness against Radar's 53.3 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Radar leads on reliability and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Radar and Stadia Maps need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Radar and Stadia Maps without installing anything?\n\nYes. Radar has a hosted endpoint at https://api.radar.io/v1 and Stadia Maps at https://api.stadiamaps.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/radar-vs-stadia-maps.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/radar-vs-stadia-maps.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"radar\", \"b\": \"stadia-maps\"}`.
