Get API Key
Goto Google Cloud Api Console -> Library -> Places API and click Enable. You might want to enable Maps JavaScript API as well.
Goto Google Cloud Api Console -> Credentials -> Create credentials -> API key. You probably want to apply restriction using HTTP referrers (websites). In the Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (websites), you can use some of the following example:
*localhost:8088/**.mydomain.com/**.myappid.appspot.com/*
Copy the API Key.
NOTE: You can try follow Get Started wizard on Google's page, but I haven't gone through that before.
Include Google Maps Javascript
<div id="map" style="height: 300px;"></div><script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places&callback=initMap" type="text/javascript"></script><script>function initMap() {}</script>Using PlacesService findPlaceFromQuery
const mapCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8617374,151.2021291)const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { center: mapCenter, zoom: 15})const placeService = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map)const request = { query: 'japan', fields: ['place_id', 'name', 'formatted_address', 'icon', 'geometry'],}placeService.findPlaceFromQuery(request, (results, status) => { if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) { results.forEach((item) => { console.log(item) // place_id, name, formatted_address, geometry.location, icon }); }})NOTE: Refer to PlacesService.findPlaceFromQuery
findPlaceFromQuery only works if the full name is given (e.g. Japan, not Ja or Jap). To use partial name autocomplete feature, use Autocomplete.getPlacePredictions.
