Google Places API Description

The Places API is a powerful service that delivers information about various locations through the use of HTTP requests. Within this framework, places are categorized as establishments, geographic settings, or notable points of interest. There are several types of place requests available: Place Search allows users to receive a list of places relevant to their current location or a search term. Place Details offers in-depth information about a particular location, including user-generated reviews. Place Photos grants access to a vast collection of images related to places stored in Google's extensive database. Place Autocomplete helps users by automatically completing the name and/or address of a location as they begin typing. Additionally, Query Autocomplete predicts and suggests queries for text-based geographic searches while users input their queries. Each of these services can be accessed through HTTP requests, returning responses in either JSON or XML formats, which makes integration into applications straightforward and efficient. This entire ecosystem enables developers to create rich location-based experiences for users.
