Android - Google Places API - No “reviews” Array

Question

So I\'m running the following Google Places API call:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=34.0467359,-118.441764&rankby=distanc

Answer 1

Allright the problem is that place API doesen't include reviews. But if u want to get reviews then u have to make place detail request.

eg: this is sample place request

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?
location=34.0467359,-118.441764&radius=1000&sensor=true
&key=YOUR_PLACE_API_KEY&types=restaurant

this is sample place details request

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?
reference=REFERENCE_STRING_OF_THE_PLACE&sensor=true&key=YOUR_PLACE_API_KEY

Answer 2

Instead of search use near by search as follows:-

and also include radius :

 https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=34.0467359,-118.441764&radius=50000&sensor=true&key=MY_API_KEY&types=restaurant

Answer 3

You can get review array by place detail API

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid={place_id}&key={api_key}

where place id is results id field from your response,

Ex. "id" : "03ed19ca32b20080897e31095e6eed2715cde819",
