Use the Place type values in Table 3, or the values in Table 1 and Table 2, as partof a Place Autocomplete (Legacy) request to restrict the results to a specific type.

  • establishment instructs the Place Autocomplete (Legacy) service to return only business results.
  • The(regions) type collection instructs the Places service to return any result matching the following types:
    • locality
    • sublocality
    • postal_code
    • country
    • administrative_area_level_1
    • administrative_area_level_2
  • The(cities) type collection instructs the Places service to return results that matchlocality oradministrative_area_level_3.
