Abstract

googleplaces uses the Google Places API Web Service to retrieve search results from Google Places, the database of places that supports Google Maps, Google+ and many other location-based web services. googleplaces returns detailed place information for each search and can execute a regular text search using keywords that you would enter into the Google search webpage or a nearby search using a set of coordinates to retrieve results for places within a specified radius. Each search result provides the full place name, geocoded coordinates, and full address, with the capability to gather additional data such as phone number, price level, customer rating and website of that place if applicable.
