This is a PHP wrapper for Google Places API Web Service. And is Laravel Framework friendly.

google-places-api's Issues

More specific exceptions would be great!

As far as I can tell, currently there is only the GooglePlacesApiException. To decide what exactly went wrong one currently has to parse the Exception message. In my opinion there should be more specific Exceptions so that one is able to catch and handle them separately. Even faulty responses should get separate Exceptions by response status (i.e.: GooglePlacesApiRequestDeniedException, GooglePlacesApiInvalidRequestException, ...).

Facade access in Laravel 10

I cannot seem to get the facade working in Laravel 10, or at least code completion in PHPStorm.

I get this error:
Class "App\Http\Livewire\Company\GooglePlaces" not found

When running:
$this->apiStuff = GooglePlaces::placeAutocomplete('some city');

I can get GooglePlaces::placeAutocomplete('some city'); to work from other parts of my app (ie., web.php), but code completion doesn't seem to work.

The documented, non-laravel works as documented.

use SKAgarwal\GoogleApi\PlacesApi;

function () {
  $googlePlaces = new PlacesApi('API_KEY') # line 1
  $response = $googlePlaces->placeAutocomplete('some input'); # line 2
}

Demo

Hi

I am willing to use this in one my Codeigniter application,
Can you please share a sample in php which will do a text search
public function textSearch($query, $params = [])

I tried to use code but giving me error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$response'

API KEY is not specified.

Hi there,

I was following the documentation for installing the places api on laravel 5.5 and i keep getting the "API KEY is not specified." error. I already added the api key in the google.php file, but still getting the same error.

Any idea of what i did wrong during install?

for the test i am trying to run this code in my show.blade.php
{{ GooglePlaces::placeAutocomplete('Jerusalem') }}

Response returned with status: REQUEST_DENIED

HI
Keep getting request denied on following the setup process, running laravel 8 and tried using the facade and without the facade.

use GooglePlaces;

$response = GooglePlaces::placeAutocomplete('address', [
        'headers' => [
            'referer' => env('APP_URL')
       ]
 ]);

or

use SKAgarwal\GoogleApi\PlacesApi;

$googlePlaces = new PlacesApi(config('google.places.key'));
        $response = GooglePlaces::placeAutocomplete('address', [
            'headers' => [
                'referer' => env('APP_URL')
        ]
 ]);

Both ways i keep getting Response returned with status: REQUEST_DENIED.

I created a new key with no restriction on it still getting that error.

Thanks

API KEY is not specified

Hi, I have problems with this. Eventhough I already set the API key, it doesn't seem to work. I followed the steps for laravel. The API key is legit.

Does this work with Laravel 6.x?

Dears,

I'm doing an app that needs Google Places API. I'm using Laravel 6.x. Does this work good with this version? I haven't saw any question or taking about the interation for this package with Laravel 6.x until this moment.

Response returned with status: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT

I am trying to make it possible for my application to fetch information about a business from Google. This means the business owner who has an account on my application can decide to populate the fields in my application by using Google but I keep running into this issue:

message: "Response returned with status: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT↵1",…

How do I fix it?

Is there a way to get the second page?

Hi, Is there a way to get the second page using the "next_page_token" from the backend?
Here's my code.

$googlePlaces = new PlacesApi($this->getGoogleApi());
$params = [
'keyword' => $keyword,
'name' => null,
'types' => null
];

$responses = $googlePlaces->nearbySearch($location, $radius = '30000', $params);

But I want to get the second page using the "$responses['next_page_token']"

Thank You.

Support for Laravel 6

As we know there already Laravel 6 on the market, Try to use this package but it always returning error

throws error when no results found

How can the error be handed when no results are found?

For example - if address = 'sdfgdsgdthrtehdrsgstgsdgs##$$#dfg'

$response = $googlePlaces->placeAutocomplete($request->input('address'),['types'=>'geocode']);

Thanks!

lat and long in autocomplete

Hi,

When I'm trying to get only cities and countries:

[
                'types' => '(cities)',
]

For some reason, I can't get city lat and long. In the JS version lat and long are exists. Then how I can get those details in the response?

error_message

Hi. Iam trying to get all nearby objects recursively, but getting error like:

This is my code:

Suggestions for New Features

I am open for suggestions for adding new features or enhancements.

Thank you.
Hope you all like this small package.

Params example

Hi, can anyone give an example how to use params? I tried it but the results does not reflect it:
$response = $googlePlaces->nearbySearch('11.585125,104.863643', 500,array('type=restaurant'));

Guzzlehttp/PSR-7 fails combined with slim 3 framework

Hi, When trying to use the following module, I come across the following error coming from Slim 3:

}

It seem that something with the guzzle Http PSR-7 makes the slim to having problems,
Any idea?

How can i get the My Google business reviews

Hi,
How can i get the My Google business reviews, using the package for Laravel.

Thanks

Support for retrieving place ratings, opening hours and reviews?

Hi,

Thanks for the package, it's awesome!

One thing I haven't been able to work out is whether there is support for retrieving additional fields like ratings, opening hours and reviews for places?

If it does then I apologise for creating this issue.

If someone can confirm that this feature is absent then I can have a look into how viable it would be to add it against the Google documentation and can look at contributing to the package if others will find it useful.

Thanks,
Blessing

Updated: Sorry ! that my silly mistake with cache

How do i iterate over results?

I have the following code:

 $resp = $googlePlaces->nearbySearch('11.585125,104.863643', 500,array('type' => 'school'));

How do i iterate over $resp?

handling ZERO_RESULTS error in textSearch

When searching using textSearch for text that didn't show any result in google :

Fatal error: Uncaught SKAgarwal\GoogleApi\Exceptions\GooglePlacesApiException: Response returned with status: ZERO_RESULTS in /var/www/html/testing/vendor/skagarwal/google-places-api/src/PlacesApi.php:217 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/testing/vendor/skagarwal/google-places-api/src/PlacesApi.php(86): SKAgarwal\GoogleApi\PlacesApi->makeRequest('textsearch/json', Array) #1 /var/www/html/testing/search.php(8): SKAgarwal\GoogleApi\PlacesApi->textSearch('MY SEARCH QUERY...') #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/testing/vendor/skagarwal/google-places-api/src/PlacesApi.php on line 217

is there any way to handle the zeo result so it wont get fatal error?

Distance between cities

How title says, is possible determine the km between 2 cities?

for example:
Point A: Montevideo, Uruguay
Point B: New York, USA

Distance between A to B: 300km

it's possible?

UPDATE: I think its possible with google geocoder, its implemented on this api?
Check this package: https://github.com/malhal/Laravel-Geographical
it would be awesome if you implements same in your package.

Radar and Nearby Search params problem

Hello,

Thank you for this laravel library, it helped me a lot. But there is an issue which i wanted to point out that i was facing, in the radar search i was sending one param of the three ('keyword', 'name', 'type') which is the requirement from google, but i always got an exception, saying "Radar Search require one or more of 'keyword', 'name', or 'types' params.". The case was when i provide all three params only then the call was successful, so I dug in a little into your code and found out that the method you have 'array_any_keys_exists' has a condition that will only be true if all keys passed are present in the params array, so i changed the code for it with something like:

    function array_any_keys_exists(array $keys, array $array)
    {
        $result = false;

        foreach ($keys as $key) {
            if(array_key_exists($key, $array)){$result = true;break;}
            else{$result = false;}
        }

        return $result;
    }

After this change the radar search call executed with any one required param that is passed, same goes for the case of nearby search, your method search for all these three keys, when in fact only one passed should work also. Please let me know your thoughts on this and do correct me if I'm wrong, thank you for your time.

Regards,
Kamil

PHP 5.6 support issue

According to composer.json, PHP 5.6 is supported, however, I'm getting a syntax error.

Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '?' in ..../vendor/skagarwal/google-places-api/src/PlacesApi.php on line 258

The code is using the null coalescing operator which was added in PHP 7.0.

Clarity of the official doc

Hi, thx for making the convenient package.
I just want thing to be added to the official doc.
To use with Laravel 5.5 above with the auto discovery feature, this line needs to be added for the usage:

use GooglePlaces;

I found this after a period of Google search:
https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/a-new-open-source-package-for-google-places-api

And also add

GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

to .env

I don't see these in the documentation. And I think they should be part of the official doc.

Referer header security

Hello,

I'm coming into an issue with my production key: Response returned with status: REQUEST_DENIED.
From what I see, it could come from the referer security.

I've checked the package method, vendor/skagarwal/google-places-api/src/PlacesApi.php::makeRequest(), and it uses a Guzzle Client to do the request to Google.

From Guzzle documentation, we can passes headers like this:

$client->request('GET', '/get', [
    'headers' => [
        'X-Foo'      => ['Bar', 'Baz']
    ]
]); 

We can pass a 2nd parameter to the $placeApi->placeAutocomplete() method, but this parameter is passed trought the vendor/skagarwal/google-places-api/src/PlacesApi.php::getOptions() method.

Reading the getOptions() code, my solution to pass a ['headers' => ['referer' => config('app.url')]] as second parameter of placeAutocomplete() could only work with a POST as our array is top level merged with the $options variable. But when it's a GET, it's merged in the array key $options['query'] . So it's passed like this to Guzzle, and so not work (not recognized as the header parameter).

Is there any solution to pass custom headers to the request?

Thanks.

Example of parameters being passed to methods?

Hi, I installed this package and think it's great but I am having a problem providing the parameters to the placeAutocomplete method? I tried several different ways to pass the correct information but without any luck. I was hoping there was an example somewhere I missed with a more in depth example or could one be provided? Thanks for the help.

Curl SSL certificate

Is it possible to temporarily set the 'verify' => false option in the Guzzle client before or while I call the google-places-api? (I need this on my dev machine)

Right now I changed PlacesApi.php:

$this->client = new Client([
  'base_uri' => 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/',
  'verify' => false
]);

But of course I don't want to touch those files.

Maybe an optional second param for guzzle client options is a way?

$p = new SKAgarwal\GoogleApi\PlacesApi('KEY', []);

Thanks!

Typo in Readme

Hello

In step 3 should be
$response = GooglePlaces::placeAutocomplete('some city');
instead of
$response = GooglePlaces::placesAutocomplete('some city');

Nearby Search doesn't return all fields documented in official Google documentation

The nearbySearch method returns results, and I am able to retrieve them fine, but I wanted to use the address fields of the place documented in the Google Places API documentation for nearby search results.

But, among others address_components, adr_address, formatted_address. are missing in the results.

The only fields returned are:

• business_status
• geometry
• icon
• icon_background_color
• icon_mask_base_uri
• name
• opening_hours
• place_id
• plus_code
• rating
• reference
• scope
• types
• user_ratings_total
• vicinity

I am doing the following:

$googlePlaces = new PlacesApi($this->api_key);

$params = [
    'keyword' => 'restaurant',
    'name' => null,
    'types' => null,
    'pagetoken' => $next_page_token
];

$response = $googlePlaces->nearbySearch($this->location, $this->radius, $params);
$results = $response->all()['results']->all();
var_dump($response);

Am I missing something? How can I get the address details of a place in the results of the nearby search? Of course I can do another api call and get those data but we're doing a large amount of queries so that would double our api usage.

Error when using next_page_token

If you want to use next_page token, so the next function should be modified, notice that I only added a condition.

and you should send the next param
'pagetoken' => 'all the code for the next page should be here'

public function nearbySearch($location, $radius = null, $params = [])
{
$this->checkKey();

    if (!array_key_exists('pagetoken', $params)){
        $params = $this->prepareNearbySearchParams($location, $radius, $params);
    }

    $response = $this->makeRequest(self::NEARBY_SEARCH_URL, $params);

    return $this->convertToCollection($response, 'results');
}

Radar search issues

Noticed a couple of typos and issues with the handling of radar search parameters

array_and_keys_exists issue

Hey,

This doesn't seem to work :

function array_any_keys_exists(array $keys, array $array)
{
$result = false;
foreach ($keys as $key) {
$result = $result OR array_key_exists($key, $array);
}
return $result;
}

changing this line : $result = $result OR array_key_exists($key, $array);
to
if (array_key_exists($key, $array)) return true;
solves the issue .

Insert more than 1 keyword in Search Nearby

Hi, when I tried to insert more than one keywords ( making an array to the keyword), i didn't get the results that i wanted. It returned the keyword has no input. For example, I want to find nearest kfc and post office. But it returned all the nearest places without any specification.

$place = 'kfc';
$place2 = 'post office';
$keyword = array('keyword' => [$place,$place2]);
$lat = "2.9960560";
$lng = "101.5755560";
$location = $lat. "," .$lng;

$response = GooglePlaces::nearbySearch($location, $radius,$keyword);

I already tried the method below, it works, but it consumes a lot of API request. so i want to prevent that method.
$place = 'kfc';
$keyword = array('keyword' => $place);
$place2 = 'pos laju';
$keyword2 = array('keyword' => $place2);

$response = GooglePlaces::nearbySearch($location, $radius,$keyword);
response2 = GooglePlaces::nearbySearch($location, $radius,$keyword2);
$result = $response["results"]->merge($response2["results"]);

Support for PHP <= 7.1

Description

Our project hasn't caught up to the latest version of Laravel/PHP yet, When we tried to deploy our application on our staging servers. We problem with running composer install (see image below).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install skagarwal/google-places-api 1.5.0 on a PHP 7.1 environment

Additional Info

• Version with issue: 1.5.0
• Laravel Version: 5.4 (I know, we're really left behind)
• PHP Version: 7.1.33

Proposed Solution

Change dependencies to allow lower PHP versions as it only currently allows ^5.5.9|^7.2

google-places-api/composer.json

Line 21 in da43d9b

"php": "^5.5.9|^7.2",

Laravel collection

The docs aren't completely clear about how to use laravel collections with results... I've had to find out the hard way that the results list is buried in $response->get('results') . For placeDetails, it's $response->get('result') .

From there, $response->get('results')->each(), or any other list/loop method in Collection works.

It would be helpful to update the docs to be more detailed.

How can I restrict the search to a specific country?

I want to have a city search for germany only but when I search for berlin the first result in autocomplete is berlin in new york.

I can set it directly in the link in google places api.

PHP inbuilt server: GuzzleHttp \ Exception \ RequestException cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem

You get SSL certificate error even when you set $verifySSL = false at the constructor.
This is because it was never set, so it always defaults to true as shown in this snippet irrespective of what you set it to be

/**
     * PlacesApi constructor.
     *
     * @param null $key
     * @param bool $verifySSL
     */
    public function __construct($key = null, $verifySSL = true)
    {
        $this->key = $key;

        $this->client = new Client([
            'base_uri' => self::BASE_URL,
        ]);
    }

I'll be making a pull request to address this.

New Google Places API URL and method migration

Are there plan to update the BASE_URL from public const BASE_URL = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/'; to the new Google Places API base URL: https://places.googleapis.com/v1/places:searchText (Migrate to Text Search (New))?

Add Support for PHP 8

Hi,

Thanks for the package. Please implement support for Laravel 7+

Response returned with status: INVALID_REQUEST

Hi,

    $googlePlaces = new PlacesApi('xxx');

    $collection = collect();

    $response = $googlePlaces->textSearch('xxx', [
        'type' => 'xxx'
    ]);
    $collection->push($response);

    $response = $googlePlaces->textSearch('xxx', [
        'pagetoken' => $response->get('next_page_token'),
    ]);
    $collection->push($response);

    dd($collection);

All returns:

SKAgarwal \ GoogleApi \ Exceptions \ GooglePlacesApiException
Response returned with status: INVALID_REQUEST

First query works perfectly and has a next_page_token. As long as I try the second query I got the error.

Can you please help?

Best,

J.
