Place Search and Geocoding API is a tool that provides users with location information by entering a keyword, latitude and longitude.
The Get Place endpoint returns detailed location information, including the name, address, latitude, longitude, zip code, country, city, state, phone number, website, rating, total reviews, and service options for a specified keyword.
Key fields in the response include "name," "location," "address," "latitude," "longitude," "rating," "total_reviews," and "service_options," which provide comprehensive details about the place queried.
The response data is structured in JSON format, with a "status" field indicating the success of the request and a "data" array containing objects for each matching location, detailing various attributes.
The Get Place endpoint provides information on businesses, points of interest, and geographic locations, including their names, addresses, contact details, and user ratings.
Users can customize their requests using parameters such as "keyword" (for the place name or type) and optional "latitude" and "longitude" to refine search results based on geographic coordinates.
Users can leverage the returned data to enhance applications by displaying location details, providing navigation options, or integrating user reviews and ratings into their services.
The data is sourced from a combination of user-generated content, business listings, and geographic databases, ensuring a broad and accurate representation of locations.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates, user feedback, and quality checks that verify the information against trusted geographic and business databases.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
