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, }); }
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, }); }
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.
