WWW::Google::Places - Interface to Google Places API.
Version 0.37
The Google Places API is a service that returns information about Places, defined within this API as establishments, geographic location or prominent points of interest using HTTP request.Place requests specify location as latitude/longitude coordinates. Users with an API key are allowed 1,000 requests per 24 hour period. Currently it supports version v3.
The official Google API document can be found here.

The constructor expects the following keys. Only the 'api_key' is mandatory and others are optionals.
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Parameter | Description | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | api_key | Your application API key. You should supply a valid API key | | | with all requests. Get a key from the Google APIs console. | | | This must be provided. | | sensor | Indicates whether or not the Place request came from a device | | | using a location sensor (e.g. a GPS) to determine the location| | | sent in this request. This value must be either true or false.| | | Default is false. | | language | The language code, indicating in which language the results | | | should be returned. The default is en. | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Google::Places; my $api_key = 'Your_API_Key'; my $place = WWW::Google::Places->new({ api_key => $api_key });
It expects a ref to hash as the only parameter containing the following keys. It returns list of objects of type WWW::Google::Places::SearchResult in a LIST context and ref to the same list in a SCALAR context.
+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Key | Description | +----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | location | The latitude/longitude around which to retrieve Place | | | information. This must be provided as a google.maps.LatLng | | | object. This must be provided. | | radius | The distance (in meters) within which to return Place results. | | | The recommended best practice is to set radius based on the | | | accuracy of the location signal as given by the location | | | sensor. Note that setting a radius biases result to the | | | indicated area, but may not fully restrict results to the | | | specified area. This must be provided. | | types | Restricts the results to Places matching at least one of the | | | specified types. Types should be separated with a pipe symbol. | | name | A term to be matched against the names of Places. | +----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Google::Places; my $api_key = 'Your_API_Key'; my $place = WWW::Google::Places->new({ api_key => $api_key }); my $results = $place->search({ location=>'-33.8670522,151.1957362', radius=>500 });
Accepts the same values as search(\%params) but handles queries that have multiple pages worth of data. Using paged_search the max number of results is 60 (or 3 pages worth) https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/search#PlaceSearchRequests
search(\%params)
It returns list of objects of type WWW::Google::Places::SearchResult in a LIST context and ref to a list in a SCALAR context.
NOTE:Due to the way that Google handles the paging of results there is a required sleep of 2 seconds between each requests so that the Google pageTokens can become active.
use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Google::Places; my $api_key = 'Your_API_Key'; my $place = WWW::Google::Places->new({ api_key => $api_key }); my $results = $place->paged_search( { location => '34.0522222,-118.2427778', radius => 500, types => 'bar|restaurant', });
Expects place id, a textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place, returned from a Place Search. It then returns an object of type WWW::Google::Places::DetailResult.
use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Google::Places; my $api_key = 'Your_API_Key'; my $placeid = 'Place_ID'; my $place = WWW::Google::Places->new({ api_key => $api_key }); my $details = $place->details($placeid);
Expects a ref to hash as the only parameter containing the following keys.It then returns place id.
+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Key | Description | +----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | location | The latitude/longitude around which to retrieve Place | | | information. This must be provided as a google.maps.LatLng | | | object. | | accuracy | The accuracy of the location signal on which this request is | | | based, expressed in meters. This must be provided. | | name | The full text name of the Place. | | types | Restricts the results to Places matching at least one of the | | | specified types. Types should be separated with a pipe symbol. | +----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Google::Places; my $api_key = 'Your_API_Key'; my $place = WWW::Google::Places->new({ api_key => $api_key }); my $status = $place->add({ 'location'=>'-33.8669710,151.1958750', accuracy=>40, name=>'Google Shoes!' });
Expects place id, a textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place, returned from a Place Search.
Delete a place as given reference. Place can be deleted by the same application that has added it in the first place.Once moderated and added into the full Place Search results, a Place can no longer be deleted. Places that are not accepted by the moderation process will continue to be visible to the application that submitted them.
use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Google::Places; my $api_key = 'Your_API_Key'; my $place_id = 'Place_ID'; my $place = WWW::Google::Places->new({ api_key => $api_key }); my $status = $place->delete($place_id);
Instead call method search().
Returns a list of objects of type WWW::Google::Places::SearchResult.
Instead call method details().
Returns an object of type WWW::Google::Places::DetailResult.
Instead call method add().
Instead call method delete().
