I want to automate the google map geocoding whenever a fusion table is updated. Or any other webservice to call geocode programatically.
For Ref : please check this image

this is what i exactly need programatically.
Any suggestions?
This is not yet possible. There is a pending feature request, feel free to star it, which shows that you also would like this feature.
Until then you could geocode your data prior to inserting it to Google Fusion Tables. There are several services you could use (Google Geocoding API, Yahoo PlaceFinder, MapQuest Geocoding API). Once you got the lat/lng data belonging to your data, you could simply insert it in your Fusion Table.

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 new to Google Maps API and I have a requirement to integrate Google Maps API with an ASP.Net application. Is there a Google service where in I can input a UK postcode and radius as input parameters and get results only, without the map.
For example if I search for solicitors in a particular area like Z1 1XY (not real post code) with a radius of 5 mi, can I get the results of all solicitors with the postcodes 5 mile radius? Is there any service that would return the result set only? I know GeoCoding does something similar but can I provide radius as one of the input parameter and get results.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

yes, you can use the Google Geocoding API to do address lookups (in this case postcodes). The response contains lat/lon co-ordinates which you can then subsequently use as the epicenter of your search to find items within a radius. Have a look at this blog post on how to use the DbGeography in .NET to perform radius queries based on lat/lon co-ordinates.
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.
