Place Detail API

The Place Detail service allows you to get detailed response for a place. Once you have a place_id or a reference from a Place Search, you can request more details about a particular establishment or point of interest by initiating a Place Details request. A Place Details request returns more comprehensive information about the indicated place such as its complete address, phone number, user rating and reviews.

Dependencies

The Place Detail API requires an http client and a serializer. The library relies respectively on Httplug which is an http client abstraction library and the Ivory Serializer which is an advanced (de)-serialization library.

To install them, read this documentation.

Configuration

By default, the place detail service is disabled. In order to enable the service, you need to configure it.

Http client and message factory

The http client and message factory are mandatory. They define which http client and message factory the place detail service will use for issuing http requests.

First, configure the Httplug bundle.

httplug:
    classes:
        client: Http\Adapter\Guzzle7\Client
        message_factory: Http\Message\MessageFactory\GuzzleMessageFactory
    clients:
        acme:
            factory: httplug.factory.guzzle7

Then, configure the Google Map bundle:

ivory_google_map:
    place_detail:
        client: httplug.client.default
        message_factory: httplug.message_factory.default

Format

The format allows you to use json/xml format for your http request:

ivory_google_map:
    place_detail:
        format: json

Api key

The API key allows you to bypass Google limitation according to your account plan:

ivory_google_map:
    place_detail:
        api_key: ~

Business account

The business account allows you to use Google Premium account:

ivory_google_map:
    place_detail:
        business_account:
            client_id: ~
            secret: ~
            channel: ~

Usage

Once you have configured your place detail service, you can fetch it from the container and use it as explained in the documentation.

use Ivory\GoogleMap\Service\Place\Detail\Request\PlaceDetailRequest;

$request = new PlaceDetailRequest('ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4');
$response = $this->container->get('ivory.google_map.place_detail')->process($request);
