Google place Api PlaceDetails Photo Reference

The Places API now supports the return of one place photo if available for a Place Search request and up to ten place photos for a Place Details request.

If a photos array is returned with your request, you can pass the photo_reference from a contained photo object to a Place Photo request with the maxheight and/or maxwidth, sensor and key parameters:

They've just announced this new Place Photos feature

In short this is how you should use this new feature:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/photo?photoreference=PHOTO_REFERENCE&sensor=false&maxheight=MAX_HEIGHT&maxwidth=MAX_WIDTH&key=YOUR_API_KEY

just substitute your own values in place of:

  • PHOTO_REFERENCE
  • MAX_HEIGHT - int value from 1 to 1600
  • MAX_WIDTH - int value from 1 to 1600
  • YOUR_API_KEY

and you are done
