Local intent with country and hl

You can see country-level organic results for a local query by setting country and hl, for example a query for plumbers with country DE and hl de. These are organic rows, not map results: there is no city, radius or coordinate parameter.

Looking for Maps data? A separate Maps scraper

SpideyData has a separate free Google Maps Scraper tool page for map and place results. It is a Maps scraper, not the /v1/serp Maps or local pack: /v1/serp does not return the map pack, GPS coordinates or Maps listings, and there is no Maps SERP product.
