Depending on what you want to process, you need to choose the appropriate request. The library allows you to process a nearby request, a radar request or a text request.
A Nearby Search lets you search for places within a specified area. You can refine your search request by supplying keywords or specifying the type of place you are searching for.
use Ivory\GoogleMap\Base\Coordinate;
use Ivory\GoogleMap\Service\Place\Search\Request\NearbyPlaceSearchRequest;
use Ivory\GoogleMap\Service\Place\Search\Request\PlaceSearchRankBy;
$request = new NearbyPlaceSearchRequest(
new Coordinate(-33.8670522, 151.1957362),
PlaceSearchRankBy::PROMINENCE,
1000
);If you want to learn more about it, you can read its documentation.
The Google Places API Radar Search Service allows you to search for up to 200 places at once, but with less detail than is typically returned from a Text Search or Nearby Search request. With Radar Search, you can create applications that help users identify specific areas of interest within a geographic area.
use Ivory\GoogleMap\Base\Coordinate;
use Ivory\GoogleMap\Service\Place\Search\Request\RadarPlaceSearchRequest;
$request = new RadarPlaceSearchRequest(
new Coordinate(-33.8670522, 151.1957362),
1000
);If you want to learn more about it, you can read its documentation.
The Google Places API Text Search Service is a web service that returns information about a set of places based on a string — for example "pizza in New York" or "shoe stores near Ottawa" or "123 Main Street". The service responds with a list of places matching the text string and any location bias that has been set.
use Ivory\GoogleMap\Service\Place\Search\Request\TextPlaceSearchRequest;
$request = new TextPlaceSearchRequest('Restaurants in Sydney');If you want to learn more about it, you can read its documentation.
