Google Places API: Searching for names containing spaces

Question

Is it possible to search for names containing spaces?

name: [\'Burger King|Subway\']  //fails
name: [\'McDonald|Subway|Chipotle\'] // works
<         


        

Answer 1

Add %22 (quotes) when you have spaces

e.g. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/xml?location=-41.21545,174.89416&radius=10000&name=strike%22entertainment%22centre&sensor=true&key=[YourKey]
