Searching for places

Mar 03, 2020 Note: Do not use API keys for local or production applications, except in the specific cases described below. For almost all cases, you should use service accounts. API keys are a simple encrypted string that can be used when calling certain APIs that don't need to access private user data. Apr 10, 2020 Places API Places SDK for Android Places SDK for iOS. To get an API key: Visit the Google Cloud Platform Console. Requests to an API or SDK not associated with the API key will fail. (The API or SDK must be enabled and must support the application restriction.).

Why are some places not returned when I filter by type?

It's possible that the place you are looking for has not yet been categorized.All places are categorized as the generic type 'establishment' until Googlehas enough data about a place to categorize it as one of thesupported place types.

As a workaround you can pass the place type to the keyword parameter. Thekeyword parameter is matched to: name, type, address, and customer reviews.

If you would like to add the category type to a place listing yourself,submit a place edit. Once the edit has beenapproved and published it will appear using the correct type filtering.

Why are some nearby places not returned?

By default, the Places API sorts results byprominence within the supplied radius. A Nearby Searchrequest can return up to 60 results, split across three pages. If a placeranks 22nd in prominence, it will appear on the second page of results whichyou can access throughpaging. If a placeranks greater than 60th in prominence it will not be included in the searchresult, even if it is closer to the center of your search.

You can sort your results by distance instead of prominence by setting therankby parameter in your query to distance and omitting the radiusparameter. Relevance will be ignored and places will be returned in order ofdistance from location.

If you are filtering your request by type, some results may be filtered out ofthe response. For more information, see the FAQ entry:Why are some places not returned when I filter by type?.

Why do I receive at most two results when filtering by some `types`?

The Places API is designed to return a list of nearbyestablishments (anything from the firsttable in the supported place types) and up to two location (anything fromthe second table ofsupported place types) results to to help identify the area you are performinga Nearby Search request for.

Filtering your Nearby Search request by a location type,like locality or political, will filter out the establishment results.

Place data

How can I add or edit places?

If you are the owner of a business, you can add, verify and manage yourbusiness listings on Google Maps using Google My Business.

If you do not own the place, you can still suggest changes.

Troubleshooting

Why do I keep receiving 'status': 'REQUEST_DENIED'?

The 'status': 'REQUEST_DENIED' is returned by thePlaces API when:

You have not activated the Places API in theGoogle Cloud Platform Console.
The key parameter is missing from your request.
The key parameter does not match the your API key in theGoogle Cloud Platform Console.
Your API key has not been correctly set up in theGoogle Cloud Platform Console:
- If you are using a browser-restricted API key, check that your allowedreferer(s) are correct.
- If you are using a server-restricted API key, check that your allowedIP(s) are correct.
- API keys with Android or iOS restrictions are not supported. Please usea generic (unrestricted) API key, or a key with browser or serverrestrictions.
The request was not sent as an HTTPS request, HTTPS is required for allPlaces API requests.
The incorrect HTTP method was used to send the request:
- All requests must be sent as a GET request except for[Place Add][place-add].
- All [Place Add][place-add] requests must be sent as a POST request.
