Is it possible to get the "Popular times" information through the Google Places API

This is one of the top feature requests in Google issue tracker (more than 500 stars):

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35827350

Currently, the state is Assigned, however, no any ETA provided by Google. Please star it to get further updates.

I haven't managed to test it myself but this is what populartimes offers to do in Python:

import populartimes
populartimes.get("your-api-key", ["bar"], (48.132986, 11.566126), (48.142199, 11.580047))
