Google Places API provides place search, details, and photos for points of interest.
Google Places API exposes Google's places database through endpoints for search, autocomplete, details, and photos. It returns establishment and geographic location data for location-aware application features.
The API is part of Google Maps Platform and is billed under a usage-based pricing model. Developers use it for store locators, ride dispatch, and local search experiences.
