Google Places API JSon Data

trscookie · 11-20-2013, 09:23 PM

Hello All,

I am trying to retrieve data from Google's Places API but I only seem to receive partial data using the examples provided:

Code:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/radarsearch/json?location=48.859294,2.347589&radius=5000&types=food|cafe&sensor=false&key=MyAPIKey

This is the end part of the result, it does not seem to contain the 'Address' or the 'Name' in the data, what could I be missing?:

Code:

      {
         "geometry" : {
            "location" : {
               "lat" : 48.854067,
               "lng" : 2.336876
            }
         },
         "id" : "cbf69cd8c0c5874e65826804ca32804cc05554a6",
         "reference" : "CnRpAAAASJHvjkWfbiNVXPiSM1LZ9W0bUsNkpNg8MQxSDMnoVcWEpnaTVQQ13ACQe70uARaag9ROrYF7CO64gz2K7l3vAntax4HCQ970DznSz3kRuYC1eMjy8UY6oqyXCjUQA4wdaJNCipmlot4VweOmsdnQzhIQxjGWlwDvtGVV_mryMBpHDBoUjNOjbu4s3beu-RLTfUUAClgNWZU"
      },
      {

            "location" : {
               "lat" : 48.859226,
               "lng" : 2.343194
            }
         },
         "id" : "81043f004b7a10b8aa90b22abf26d7ba9e6ddbd2",

               "lng" : 2.327369
            }
         },
         "id" : "751a05ec173f53ba581d8a32e047a69302c4886c",

      },
      {

            "location" : {
               "lat" : 48.854614,
               "lng" : 2.332805

      }
   ],
   "status" : "OK"
}

Every example that I see online appears to retrieve information like this:

Code:

{
   "html_attributions" : [],
   "results" : [
      {
         "geometry" : {
            "location" : {
               "lat" : 33.7862590,
               "lng" : -117.8531270
            }
         },
         "icon" : "http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/restaurant-71.png",
         "id" : "5be9a13a28635cf8fd2ef3c62c24d51277a4ba58",
         "name" : "Kimmies Coffee Cup",
         "rating" : 3.30,
         "reference" : "CnRpAAAANKLoOHJ1STFaFavIPjm2bpMDneGTv0AXfixyl-koF7KSK-lQSldk3c01RFJu9Gf62zXnRScte-dkPCBU8KuxCo7AMctfuaIhNkPE8RKENF9HeMlkuEg-Scp97--1VWJvjpNQjc6xRvdXsbf7V8NrSRIQnXjZBKbrSeSg2sTwBosKghoUEFlNDIN5cnVbn5n7aNtwycord-E",

         "vicinity" : "190 S Glassell St # B, Orange"
      }
      ]
}

Many thanks for your help.

I would suggest looking at the updated Google Places API Docs: https://developers.google.com/places...SearchRequests

The examples now show that the results returned include a field called "formatted_address":

"results" : [
{
"formatted_address" : "529 Kent Street, Sydney NSW, Australia",
"geometry" : {
"location" : {
"lat" : -33.8750460,
"lng" : 151.2052720
}
},
"icon" : "http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/restaurant-71.png",
"id" : "827f1ac561d72ec25897df088199315f7cbbc8ed",
"name" : "Tetsuya's",
"rating" : 4.30,
"reference" : "CnRmAAAAmmm3dlSVT3E7rIvwQ0lHBA4sayvxWEc4nZaXSSjRtfKRGoYnfr3d5AvQGk4e0u3oOErXsIJwtd3Wck1Onyw6pCzr8sw W4E7dZ6wP4dV6AsXPvodwdVyqHgyGE_K8DqSp5McW_nFcci_-1jXb5Phv-RIQTzv5BjIGS0ufgTslfC6dqBoU7tw8NKUDHg28bPJlL0vGVWVgbTg",
