Google Place Details Parameters
﻿GET  /search?engine=google&search_type=place_details
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.
