PlacesService class

google.maps.places.PlacesService class

Contains methods related to searching for places and retrieving details about a place.

Access by calling const {PlacesService} = await google.maps.importLibrary("places").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Constructor PlacesService

PlacesService(attrContainer)

Parameters: 

Creates a new instance of the PlacesService that renders attributions in the specified container.

Methods findPlaceFromPhoneNumber

findPlaceFromPhoneNumber(request, callback)

Parameters: 

Return Value:  None

Retrieves a list of places based on a phone number. In most cases there should be just one item in the result list, however if the request is ambiguous more than one result may be returned. The

PlaceResult

s passed to the callback are subsets of a full

PlaceResult

. Your app can get a more detailed

PlaceResult

for each place by calling

PlacesService.getDetails

and passing the

PlaceResult.place_id

for the desired place.

findPlaceFromQuery

findPlaceFromQuery(request, callback)

Parameters: 

Return Value:  None

Retrieves a list of places based on a query string. In most cases there should be just one item in the result list, however if the request is ambiguous more than one result may be returned. The

PlaceResult

s passed to the callback are subsets of a full

PlaceResult

. Your app can get a more detailed

PlaceResult

for each place by calling

PlacesService.getDetails

and passing the

PlaceResult.place_id

for the desired place.

getDetails

getDetails(request, callback)

Parameters: 

Return Value:  None

Retrieves details about the place identified by the given placeId.

nearbySearch

nearbySearch(request, callback)

Parameters: 

Return Value:  None

Retrieves a list of places near a particular location, based on keyword or type. Location must always be specified, either by passing a

LatLngBounds

, or

location

and

radius

parameters. The

PlaceResult

s passed to the callback are subsets of the full

PlaceResult

. Your app can get a more detailed

PlaceResult

for each place by sending a

Place Details request

passing the

PlaceResult.place_id

for the desired place. The

PlaceSearchPagination

object can be used to fetch additional pages of results (null if this is the last page of results or if there is only one page of results).

textSearch

textSearch(request, callback)

Parameters: 

Return Value:  None

Retrieves a list of places based on a query string (for example, "pizza in New York", or "shoe stores near Ottawa"). Location parameters are optional; when the location is specified, results are only biased toward nearby results rather than restricted to places inside the area. Use textSearch when you want to search for places using an arbitrary string, and in cases where you may not want to restrict search results to a particular location. The PlaceSearchPagination object can be used to fetch additional pages of results (null if this is the last page of results or if there is only one page of results).
