The Google Place Details Parameters are applicable when making a request with search_type=place_details to retrieve place details for a Place. The Place is specified in the data_id parameter, data_id values are returned from search_type=places Places requests.
If the data_id is not available you may also request a place_details request using a data_cid (a standardised Google Place identifier you may already have access to). However, data_id is the recommended identifier to use.
data_cid vs data_id
When working with our API, it’s important to note that the parameter you use will determine the type of data returned. Here's a quick overview:
- Requests with data_cid Utilize Google Maps data as the primary source. e.g. requests will not yield profiles data in the response.
- Requests with data_id Access data through Google Places (powered by the Knowledge Graph parser). These requests include profiles data when available.
In summary, the choice between data_cid and data_id depends on your data requirements.
