HeIIo, using google map API with search I'm able to find a certain place and then store it's details. However, the array doesn't contain google maps link which would open this place on google maps.
Via API I receive place_id which, as I feel, should be enough to build a full google maps link; however, I can't find a way to do that. Can anyone advise me on how to do that.
Thank you for your time.
Try below syntax. I hope it helps
https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJp4JiUCNP0xQR1JaSjpW_Hms
Here is an official url to search for a placeId with a fallback to an address if the placeId does not exist
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=<address>&query_place_id=<placeId>
no token required, works on Android, iOS (as well as iOS 11) and web
There is a way of always getting the right URL but it does require an additional request.
You can use the place_id to get the place details with
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?key=YOURAPIKEY&placeid=THEPLACEID
The response from that has a ['result']['url'] field which always opens up the right place.
eg. https://maps.google.com/?cid=10254754059248426663
