How to get all places (or specific type of place such as a restaurant) in a city or country with Google Places API?
Unfortunately you can't get more than 60 results from the Google Places API; at least not without breaking the terms of service:
Unless you have received prior written authorization from Google (or, as applicable, from the provider of particular Content), you must not: (d) use the Products in a manner that gives you or any other person access to mass downloads or bulk feeds of any Content, including but not limited to numerical latitude or longitude coordinates, imagery, and visible map data
Furthermore, as you can read here:
It's in large part a licensing issue. But it's also because the goal of the Places API is not to facilitate scraping or aggregation of Google Places data in the way you describe. Any application that does so is almost certainly not compliant with the Google Maps or Google Maps API Terms of Service, and is likely to be blocked from using the API or other Google services at any time. The Places API is intended to allow apps to offer their users a way to discover of identify Places nearby. There is a practical limit to the number of search results that a user will scan through and consider. I don't believe it's necessary to offer users 200 results, and I suspect that doing so would only serve to increase development of applications that scrape Google Places data, without adding significant benefit or utility to the types of apps the API is intended to serve, and that we wish to encourage.
As a further reference, have also a look at this answer.
Use Radar Search. Check the documentation here.
You can get 200 results in one go but it will take 5 reqests from your quota. The results have less details as compared to nearby search but you can always get that by using place details search.
Hope this helps.
Notice: Radar search is deprecated as of June 30, 2018. After that time, this feature will no longer be available.
I made such a tool a while ago https://github.com/Pithikos/Geoexplorer. You can see here how it looks like.
I even have a working example with Google Places that you can use if you have an API key.
git clone https://github.com/Pithikos/Geoexplorer.git- Add your API key in the file examples/google_radar_search.py
python3 examples/google_radar_search.py- Open GUI/index.html in a browser
This will look for groceries named "ICA" in a big area in Sweden. You can configure the area being scanned at config.py and your search queries in google_radar_search.py.
This should run fine on any Ubuntu after 13.10. If you use Windows or an earlier version read here (the Install dependencies section).
You can also add any other service you like by using the API. Keep in mind to not violate Google's or any other company's policy when using it. I made this solely to test which service would give me the best results before deciding which of them to use.
