Google place API's give wrong result in iOS App

Question

I am using goole place API for finding near by places, but always it gives me wrong value.

Here is my framed link - https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=12.848048,77.654625&radius=10000&types=courier_services&sensor=true&key=[API_KEY].

Another way of framing the URL:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=42.848048,34.654625&radius=10000&types=courier_services&sensor=true&key=[API_KEY].

Here i am searching for courier services around my places, but i get some irrelevant results. It gives me few hotel details in the response. Above both url's results same response.

Does anybody has any idea or faced the same problem.

Answer 1

Take a look at the list of supported place-types , courier_services currently is not a supported type.

Answer 2

First, don't use the parameter types. Because it is Deprecated:

Notice: The implementation for types in text search requests is changing. The types parameter is deprecated as of February 16, 2016, replaced by a new type parameter which only supports one type per search request.

So use type instead of types.

Also, I tried your request, and your correct I'm getting some Hotel names. But, after checking the supported type for the Places API. I cannot find the word courier_services. Just check this documentaion to know what is the supportive type in the Places API.
