Actually I am using the Google Places API for web application. I want address and phone number for search string. If I search 'checkpoint company', I got the place details but in that the phone numbers are old. It contains old data.
So my question is after how many days Google map updates the place details ?

I wonder if I can get working places for all users from organization using calendar API. Coworkers from my organization uses google calendar to mark if they work from home or office. I attach screen to show what I am talking about.
I've searched many endpoints from calendar API but did not find suitable one. Is it possible to get those information from API?
It is not yet possible to retrieve those information from the API.
But Google already documented it (tutorial, API reference) and it should come at some point in the (hopefully) near future.
Here is the related issue in their tracker : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199918380
My team and I are currently in the process of creating a website listing a number of local businesses and as part of our service we are going to be administrating their GoogleMyBusiness. Basically each business will have a page on out website containing their informaiton, such as phone numbers, address and such - including reviews, opening hours and a Google Maps integration.
My question is; is it possible to use GMB APIs to integrate reviews, opening hours and Google Maps for each of our customers on the same website (on different pages) and would we need to request unique API keys for each customer?
You only need one key. Make sure to restrict the key so you can have multiple instances of your Google Maps
I am using Google API to get the place information and store it into database. Using Google API I am able to get address, opening hours, rating and reviews as shown in below image.
But, I am not able to get place description which is highlighted in below image in red circle. ("Quaint Italian mainstay for deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza, calzones, pastas & hot dogs.")
I want that information in my application. I think google is taking those information from
Freebase https://developers.google.com/freebase/guide/basic_concepts
Wikipedia https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute
But I am not sure.
Can any one help me suggest me that how I can get that information or any other API that I can use to get that information based on google place_id.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Accordingly to the documentation and #xomena, currently you cannot obtain this data via Places API. There is a feature request in Google issue tracker to make the detailed business type available in Places API, however Google doesn't expose any ETA (estimation time of arrival:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35822953
Feel free to star this feature request to express your interest and subscribe to notification from Google.
To my knowledge it is not possible to get this information from the Google Places API. The API documentation does not display the venue description. Try to have a look here: https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details (it might be that Google does not share all information from their platform with other developers..).
I would suggest you to do one of the following (or perhaps both):
Scrape Google the old school way; i.e. by getting the information from the HTML. There is a quite decent guide for doing that here (you would of course have to adjust the example to scraping Google instead): https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-scrape-websites-with-python-and-beautifulsoup-5946935d93fe.
What I would recommend and which probably is the fastest: enrich your current data with other data. You could e.g. use Foursquare and search for the places you get from Google. It should be possible to get the description for each place on Foursquare. See here: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/venues/details. If you have problems with matching the places after your query has returned, because the venue names are not exactly the same - but close, then you could use an algorithm to match strings that are close; perhaps using the levenstein distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance).
I know how to use the ContactPicker to pick a contact from the people app and get the contact details, but I do not know how to search for a contact and get the contact details by a phone number for example.
Anybody has some sample JavaScript code?
I don't think there's any way to search or iterate through the contacts. You could open the Search charm and seed it with the phone number you want to search for using SearchPane.Show(), but it does not seem like the People app searches by phone number. It also seems like you cannot get phone number data from the hotmail SDK for contacts.
I have added 100 locations to google places using google place api.Now i want to know the number of locations that i have added to google places.
So my question is that Is google provides the api that will show only the number of locations that i have added with my api key ?
This is currently not possible without keeping your own tally of added places. If you think that this would be a useful feature please add a Places API - Feature Request.
