Abstract
Background
National surveillance of commercial retail environments remains limited by data sources that are updated infrequently and capture narrow dimensions of food access. The Google Places API provides continuously updated and programmatically accessible information on business locations across the United States, but its use as a population-level built-environment exposure measure has not been systematically evaluated.
