How to get a picture of a place from google maps or places API

Question

I\'m using Google Places API to retrieve data about places, but couldn\'t find how to get a picture of that place, Google Places API just provides

Answer 1

1. First get the photo_reference from the response:

    var photoRef;
    if (data.results[i].photos && Array.isArray(data.results[i].photos)) {
    photoRef = data.results[i].photos[0].photo_reference;
    }
   

2. Use the Google Photos API endpoint to GET the place photo/picture:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/photo?maxwidth=960&photoreference="+ photoRef +"&key=AIzaSyBp0cy7ti0z5MJMAwWiPMNvbJobmWYGyv4' alt=''/>

3. See for yourself:
