Question

Can anyone guide how to get list of POI from a particular city for e.g. ahmedabad.

Got the query https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/xml?location=23.

Answer 1

You need to pass any one of the supported type to your query against types.

Restricts the results to Places matching at least one of the specified types. Types should be separated with a pipe symbol (type1|type2|etc). See the list of supported types.

Answer 2

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=places+in+'city'&key='APIKEY'

Replace with your city and API KEY.
