Google Maps places API to only return cities?
google-maps, google-maps-api-3
Solution
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=green%20lanes&types=geocode&sensor=false&types=regions&key=API KEY HERE
should be
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=green%20lanes&sensor=false&types=(regions)&key=API KEY HERE
ZERO RESULTS, because regions does not search for street name:
the (regions) type collection instructs the Place service to return any result matching the following types: locality sublocality postal_code country administrative_area1 administrative_area2
Problem
I am trying to use Google's map API to only return cities from their json request: ``` https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=green%20lanes&types=geocode&sensor=false&types=regions&key=*API KEY HERE* ``` The key being `&types=regions` but it still returns all results. For example, I am searching for the street `Green Lanes` and rather than returning cities that might contain `Green Lanes` its returning the street in London as the top result.
