I am doing a POC for one of my projects using HERE Geocoding and Search api. I want to search places around a given latitude and longitude and need details of those places including an image/images.
I am using https://browse.search.hereapi.com/v1/browse?at=47.80049,3.57119&limit=2&categories=700-7600-0000,700-7600-0116&apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY} which returns all details of places but without image related details.
So I tried to use https://lookup.search.hereapi.com/v1/lookup?id=here:pds:place:276u33dc-2ba407e1181849c9a761a336b8df1805&apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY} where id is returned as one of the attributes in response of previous /browse call, but again this returns same details (without image) as retuned by /browse api.
I tried to follow this documentation https://developer.here.com/documentation/geocoding-search-api/migration_guide/migration-places/topics-api/place-details.html but it doesn't help much.
So is there a way to retrieve image/images for places using HERE Geocoding and Search api. I would be grateful if some one can share their experience or guide me to correct documentation.
The Media Type attributes are currently not returned in GS7 apis. The same is told in the below document.

I want business description using google API or wikidata API.
As shown in above image I want to access description (which is highlighted in red circle.) and store it into application database.
What I tried till now, I used google place API to get the place information, using that I am able to get information like review,rating,opening hours. But I am not able to get that information which I have mention in above image. But I do not know how to get that information using Wikidata api or Google Knowledge Graph api.
Can any one suggest me that how can I use that API to get that information.
Any help would be highly appreciated !
Thanks,
I'd also be keen to know if this is possible. For example, with a bounding box. 4 coordinates, might it be possible for Google Knowledge or another API to give me a summing up of the place.
For example: bbox=4.721375,52.290843,5.070190,52.399905
Might return information and history on the city of Amsterdam. Like when you type into Google Search "Amsterdam".
Just a thought. I have previously accomplished this with a very manual combination of Overpass API (related to OSM) and Freebase.
I just found this: Find a place description in Freebase using latitude and longitude?
So, it can be done. And it is already documented.
Trying to mimic the 'what's here' feature of Google Maps in my own website but it seems that items of type 'natural_feature' are excluded from Google Maps 3 API geocoding and places searches, both nearby and radar, and also on text searches unless the EXACT name of the place is provided. This must have been an informed choice by Google to do this - anyone know the rationale, and better, offer a workaround? Seems crazy that I can't get the names of woods, nature reserves etc. any more...
Found out how to do it! If you get a geocoding API key from Google you can get all the data for natural features included in the JSON/XML response from a server request like the following (I was trying to get the data for "Gamsey Wood"):
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=52.4180698,-0.2029999&result_type=natural_feature&key=YOUR_GOOGLE_GEO_KEY
Happy days!
I am in the process of building a booking system and I'm wanting to do a lookup, based on a text field, that searches both businesses and addresses.
For example, a user is presented with an Input Box that asks them to enter a location. I want it to support Businesses and Addresses.
My current implementation uses the Geocoding web service, but it's unable to find businesses, so I need to bring in the Places API.
I also need to find the distance between these places using the Google Distance Matrix Web Service.
I thought I'd solved my problem by JUST using the Google Places API, but not all addresses are listed on it.
Any ideas / previous experience is greatly appreciated.
You can use both of these on the page, and place a condition for an unsuccessful search on one (i.e. missing or empty variable) to trigger the other.
I need all locations of type cafe, gas_station, and restaurant using Google Places Api. Here is my query via the API:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=41.104805,29.024291&radius=50000&sensor=true&key=AIzaSyAVH0qHD6BPxRlnck3rIqcxC5TTwOTyfds&types=gas_station||shopping_mall
This returns mosque location types only. I'm not getting shopping_mall, gas_station, or restaurant types. here i am checking type in google place api
How can i get all these types?
Unfortunately, Google Places API does not appear to have anything under those categories in that area.
Use types=establishment to get a more complete list of businesses etc. in that area.
Unfortunately, you will have to find some other way to determine what is a gas station, etc. Google Places API does not appear to have that data, at least at this time.
It may be possible to contribute that data yourself.
Since the answer above was posted, Google has added support for additional location types.
https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/supported_types
It was suggested in other SO thread, that you use 'keyword' instead of 'types' in your query to Google. Related SO thread:
How can I search places with specific types using Google Places API?
i am developing an application which makes use of Google maps. Google maps API returns the result with map on new screen but I want to retrieve only the latitude and longitudinal coordinates .. so please help me with:
How to retrieve them
How to dynamically send name and address of the location
This is too broad a question so without further information it is hard to explain.
