Place Details

Select platform: Android iOS JavaScript Web Service

Fetch fields

If you have an existing Place object or place ID, use the Place.fetchFields method to get details about that place. Provide a comma-separated list of place data fields to return; specify field names in camel case. Use the returned Place object to get data for the requested fields.

The following example uses a place ID to create a new Place, calls Place.fetchFields requesting the displayName and formattedAddress fields, adds a marker to the map, and logs some data to the console.

TypeScript

async function getPlaceDetails() {     const { Place } =  await google.maps.importLibrary("places") as google.maps.PlacesLibrary;     const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker") as google.maps.MarkerLibrary;     // Use place ID to create a new Place instance.     const place = new Place({         id: 'ChIJN5Nz71W3j4ARhx5bwpTQEGg',         requestedLanguage: 'en', // optional     });      // Call fetchFields, passing the desired data fields.     await place.fetchFields({ fields: ['displayName', 'formattedAddress', 'location'] });      // Log the result     console.log(place.displayName);     console.log(place.formattedAddress);      // Add an Advanced Marker     const marker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({         map,         position: place.location,         title: place.displayName,     }); }index.ts

JavaScript

async function getPlaceDetails() {   const { Place } = await google.maps.importLibrary("places");   const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker");   // Use place ID to create a new Place instance.   const place = new Place({     id: "ChIJN5Nz71W3j4ARhx5bwpTQEGg",     requestedLanguage: "en", // optional   });    // Call fetchFields, passing the desired data fields.   await place.fetchFields({     fields: ["displayName", "formattedAddress", "location"],   });   // Log the result   console.log(place.displayName);   console.log(place.formattedAddress);    // Add an Advanced Marker   const marker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({     map,     position: place.location,     title: place.displayName,   }); } index.js

Note that Map and Place have been declared prior to this function:

const { Map } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps"); const { Place } = await google.maps.importLibrary("places");

Use the Place Overview component

The Place Overview component displays detailed information about millions of businesses, including opening hours, star reviews, and photos, plus directions and other actions in a premade UI in 5 sizes and formats. It is part of the Extended Component Library, from Google Maps Platform, a set of web components that helps developers build better maps and location features faster.

Use the Place Overview configurator to create embeddable code for a custom Place Overview component, then export it to be used with popular frameworks like React and Angular or no framework at all.
