I want to retrieve points of interests of a place/country through google places api say 'points of interests in london'. I want the results to be same as I google search it like [here][1. I've used something like this
'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/radarsearch/json?location='+str(lat)+','+str(long)+'&radius=500&type=tourist&rankby=prominence&key=API_KEY')
where lat,long are respective latitude,longitude of that place/country.
But the resulting json file does not retrieve points of interests of that place rather it just outputs nearby places.
i also tried this
'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location='+str(lat)+','+str(long)+'&radius=500&type=tourist&&rankby=prominence&key=API_KEY'
which ended up in same results
is there any option to do it without using radius parameter
please do help me
Try this google places API url. You will get the point of interest/Attraction/Tourists places in (For Eg:) New York City. You have to use the CITY NAME with the keyword Point Of Interest
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=new+york+city+point+of+interest&language=en&key=API_KEY
These API results are same as the results of the below google search results.
https://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy-ab&site=&source=hp&btnG=Search&q=New+York+point+of+interest
It looks like you may be looking for an API that surfaces Google Search results, and there is one: Google Custom Search https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/overview
You could use Nearby or Radar search, if you'd be looking for more specific, supported types: https://developers.google.com/places/supported_types#table1
Try this google place API url.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=point+of+interest+in+cityName&key=API_KEY
Please tied to use google API

$json=file_get_contents($url);
$obj = json_decode($json);
