Module google_maps::places::place_autocomplete

The Place Autocomplete service is a web service that returns place predictions. The request specifies a textual search string and optional geographic bounds. The service can be used to provide autocomplete functionality for text-based geographic searches, by returning places such as businesses, addresses and points of interest as a user types.

Note: Server-side and client-side libraries

• The Places API is also available with the Java Client, Python Client, Go Client and Node.js Client for Google Maps Services. The Places API and the client libraries are for use in server applications.

• If you’re building a client-side application, take a look at the Places SDK for Android, the Places SDK for iOS, and the Places Library, Maps JavaScript API.

Place Autocomplete requests

• The Place Autocomplete service is part of the Places API and shares an API key and quotas with the Places API.

• Note: You can use Place Autocomplete even without a map. If you do show a map, it must be a Google map. When you display predictions from the Place Autocomplete service without a map, you must include the ‘Powered by Google’ logo displayed inline with the search field/results.

The Place Autocomplete service can match on full words and substrings, resolving place names, addresses, and plus codes. Applications can therefore send queries as the user types, to provide on-the-fly place predictions.

The returned predictions are designed to be presented to the user to aid them in selecting the desired place. You can send a Place Details request for more information about any of the places which are returned.
