The Google Places API is a service that returns information about places using HTTP requests. Places are defined within this API as establishments, geographic locations, or prominent points of interest.

The Places API is also available with the Java Client, Python Client, Go Client and Node.js Client for Google Maps Services. The Places API and the client libraries are for use in server applications.

If you're building a client-side application, take a look at the Places SDK for Android, the Places SDK for iOS, and the Places Library, Maps JavaScript API.
