}

object (Viewport)

A viewport defined by a northeast and a southwest corner.

object (Circle)

A circle defined by a center point and radius.

object (PlacePrediction)

A prediction for a Place.

object (QueryPrediction)

A prediction for a query.

string

The resource name of the suggested Place. This name can be used in other APIs that accept Place names.

string

The unique identifier of the suggested Place. This identifier can be used in other APIs that accept Place IDs.

object (FormattableText)

Contains the human-readable name for the returned result. For establishment results, this is usually the business name and address.

text is recommended for developers who wish to show a single UI element. Developers who wish to show two separate, but related, UI elements may want to use structuredFormat instead. They are two different ways to represent a Place prediction. Users should not try to parse structuredFormat into text or vice versa.

This text may be different from the displayName returned by places.get.

May be in mixed languages if the request input and languageCode are in different languages or if the Place does not have a translation from the local language to languageCode.

object (StructuredFormat)

A breakdown of the Place prediction into main text containing the name of the Place and secondary text containing additional disambiguating features (such as a city or region).

string

List of types that apply to this Place from Table A or Table B in https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-types.

A type is a categorization of a Place. Places with shared types will share similar characteristics.

integer

The length of the geodesic in meters from origin if origin is specified. Certain predictions such as routes may not populate this field.

{
  "text": string,
  "matches": [
    {
      object (StringRange)
    }
  ]
}

string

Text that may be used as is or formatted with matches.

object (StringRange)

A list of string ranges identifying where the input request matched in text. The ranges can be used to format specific parts of text. The substrings may not be exact matches of input if the matching was determined by criteria other than string matching (for example, spell corrections or transliterations).

These values are Unicode character offsets of text. The ranges are guaranteed to be ordered in increasing offset values.

{
  "startOffset": integer,
  "endOffset": integer
}

integer

Zero-based offset of the first Unicode character of the string (inclusive).

integer

Zero-based offset of the last Unicode character (exclusive).

{
  "mainText": {
    object (FormattableText)
  },
  "secondaryText": {
    object (FormattableText)
  }
}

object (FormattableText)

Represents the name of the Place or query.

object (FormattableText)

Represents additional disambiguating features (such as a city or region) to further identify the Place or refine the query.

{
  "text": {
    object (FormattableText)
  },
  "structuredFormat": {
    object (StructuredFormat)
  }
}

object (FormattableText)

The predicted text. This text does not represent a Place, but rather a text query that could be used in a search endpoint (for example, Text Search).

text is recommended for developers who wish to show a single UI element. Developers who wish to show two separate, but related, UI elements may want to use structuredFormat instead. They are two different ways to represent a query prediction. Users should not try to parse structuredFormat into text or vice versa.

May be in mixed languages if the request input and languageCode are in different languages or if part of the query does not have a translation from the local language to languageCode.
