This page provides a comprehensive list of the possible values for the types property, which you can leverage while working with
Places APIs.
The following is a list of the Place Types that can be used in the following ways:
- In Search Requests (Types Parameter):
The types parameter can be used in specific Places APIs to refine search results. This parameter is supported in the Autocomplete API, Nearby Search API Text Search. When querying using these APIs, including specific place types in the types parameter helps restrict the results to places matching the specified type. For example, if you're searching for restaurants, setting types=restaurant ensures that only locations categorized as restaurants will be returned - For Admin POIs in Response (Types in Results):
The types parameter supports getting admin POIs like city in the response of the API, which is helpful is getting admin details of a location. Below mentioned is a list of admin related types which Places APIs support. citycountrypostalcodestatesub_sublocalitysublocality
- For General POIs in Response (Types in Results):
Every place search response also contains the types property, which indicates the type or category of the place. This is useful when you need to categorize or filter the places based on their types after receiving the response from the API. For instance, you might want to highlight different place categories like parks, shopping malls, or hospitals within your application. accountingairportamusement_parkaquariumarchipelagoart_galleryatmbakerybankbarbeauty_salonbicycle_storebook_storebowling_alleybus_stationcafecampgroundcar_dealercar_rentalcar_repaircar_washcasinocemeterychurchcity_hallclothing_storeconvenience_storecourthousedentistdepartment_storedoctordrugstoreelectricianelectronics_storeembassyestablishmentfinancefire_stationfloristfoodfuneral_homefurniture_storegas_stationgeneral_contractorgrocery_or_supermarketgymhair_carehardware_storehealthhindu_templehome_goods_storehospitalinsurance_agencyintersectionjewelry_storelandmarklaundrylawyerlibrarylight_rail_stationliquor_storelocal_government_officelocksmithlodgingmetro_stationmonorail_stationmosquemovie_rentalmovie_theatermoving_companymuseumnatural_featurenight_clubpainterparkparkingpet_storepharmacyphysiotherapistplace_of_worshipplumberpoint_of_interestpolicepost_officepremiseprimary_schoolrailway_stationreal_estate_agencyrestaurantroofing_contractorrv_parkschoolsecondary_schoolshoe_storeshopping_mallspastadiumstoragestorestreet_addresssubpremisesupermarketsynagoguetaxi_standtourist_attractiontown_squaretransit_stationtravel_agencyuniversityveterinary_carezooola-experiencecenterola-hyperchargerola-mobility-fastchargerola-mboola-sdcola-servicecenterola-slowcharger
