What is the Places Photos API?
The Places Photos service, part of the Places API, is a read- only API that allows you to add high quality photographic content to your application. The Place Photo service gives you access to the millions of photos stored in the Places database. When you get place information using a Place Details request, photo references will be returned for relevant photographic content. Find Place, Nearby Search, returns photo reference per place, when relevant. Using the Photo service you can then access the referenced photos .
