Place Types (New)

Place types are categories that identify the characteristics of a place. A place can have one or more place types assigned to it.

A place's types are included in the response from a Place Details (New), Nearby Search (New), Text Search (New), and Place Autocomplete (New) request:

• A place can have a single primary type from type Table A or type Table B associated with it. For example, the primary type might be "mexican_restaurant" or "steak_house".
• A place can have multiple type values from type Table A or type Table B associated with it. For example a restaurant might have the following types: "seafood_restaurant", "restaurant", "food", "point_of_interest", "establishment".

You can also specify place types as part of a request. When specified in the request, the type acts as a filter to restrict the response to only include places that match the specified types.

• As part of a response from Place Details (New), Nearby Search (New), and Text Search (New), the values in Table A are used to populate the types property of the Place instance. The request must specify Place.Field.TYPES or Place.Field.PRIMARY_TYPE in the field list.

Table B lists additional place type values which may also be returned as part of a Place Details (New), Nearby Search (New), Text Search (New), and Place Autocomplete (New) response. The request must specify Place.Field.TYPES or Place.Field.PRIMARY_TYPE in the field list.
