What is the different between the Google Places Library and the Google Places API? I see that with the API, the search limit per 24 hour period is 100,000 searches where the Library the limit is per user and not per API key. Is it possible to use the places library within an android application?
回答1:
The Google Places Library is part of the Google Maps Javascript API v3, meant to be used in applications using that.
The Google Places API is a web service.

i recently learn't that you would want to use Google Places API when you want to do more than just query for places information, like add new places to the maps database. the limit is 1000/day per app key.
google places library is what u use when u just want to query for existing places. the limit is 25000/day per user.
