Place Details

Select platform: Android iOS JavaScript Web Service

Fetch fields

If you have an existing Place object or place ID, use the Place.fetchFields method to get details about that place. Provide a comma-separated list of place data fields to return; specify field names in camel case. Use the returned Place object to get data for the requested fields.

The following example uses a place ID to create a new Place, calls Place.fetchFields requesting the displayName and formattedAddress fields, adds a marker to the map, and logs some data to the console.

TypeScript

async function getPlaceDetails(Place) {
    const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker") as google.maps.MarkerLibrary;
    // Use place ID to create a new Place instance.
    const place = new Place({
        id: 'ChIJN5Nz71W3j4ARhx5bwpTQEGg',
        requestedLanguage: 'en', // optional
    });

    // Call fetchFields, passing the desired data fields.
    await place.fetchFields({ fields: ['displayName', 'formattedAddress', 'location'] });

    // Log the result
    console.log(place.displayName);
    console.log(place.formattedAddress);

    // Add an Advanced Marker
    const marker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
        map,
        position: place.location,
        title: place.displayName,
    });
}index.ts

JavaScript

async function getPlaceDetails(Place) {
  const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker");
  // Use place ID to create a new Place instance.
  const place = new Place({
    id: "ChIJN5Nz71W3j4ARhx5bwpTQEGg",
    requestedLanguage: "en", // optional
  });

  // Call fetchFields, passing the desired data fields.
  await place.fetchFields({
    fields: ["displayName", "formattedAddress", "location"],
  });
  // Log the result
  console.log(place.displayName);
  console.log(place.formattedAddress);

  // Add an Advanced Marker
  const marker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
    map,
    position: place.location,
    title: place.displayName,
  });
}
index.js

Note that Map and Place have been declared prior to this function:

const { Map } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps");
const { Place } = await google.maps.importLibrary("places");

Use the Place Overview component

The Place Overview component displays detailed information about millions of businesses, including opening hours, star reviews, and photos, plus directions and other actions in a premade UI in 5 sizes and formats. It is part of the Extended Component Library, from Google Maps Platform, a set of web components that helps developers build better maps and location features faster.

Use the Place Overview configurator to create embeddable code for a custom Place Overview component, then export it to be used with popular frameworks like React and Angular or no framework at all.
