### Backend

You can also query the Places API from your backend, here is an example with our [PHP API Client](https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-php). It requires a registered [Places account](https://www.algolia.com/users/sign_up/places).

```php
<?php
$appId = 'YOUR_PLACES_APP_ID';
$apiKey = 'YOUR_PLACES_API_KEY';

$client = new \AlgoliaSearch\Client($appId, $apiKey);
$places = $client->initPlaces($appId, $apiKey);

$data = json_encode(array('query' => 'Paris'));
$result = $places->search($data);

I think this has to be called like:

$places->search($query);

No need for the json_encode.

Ok, just pushed a simplification.

var_dump($result);
```

### REST API

Behind the places.js the JavaScript library lies a complete REST API. Read the underlying [REST API documentation](rest.html).
