Places, also known as points of interest (POIs), are businesses and geographic locations that you can discover around the world. To find places you use the places service API. The service API allows you to search for places near a location or within a bounding box. You can also get valuable place details such as name, category, street address, marketing district, contact information, website, social links, hours of operation, price ratings, and user ratings. This topic covers how to use the places service to build place finding applications.
