Hi @mohammad6006,

Thank you for your question.

The response from Google Maps API call, if not explicitly set, is json by default.

As per Laravel documentation, you would use following to return json response

return response()->json([ 'name' => 'Abigail', 'state' => 'CA' ]);

In your case use following:

$response = \GoogleMaps::load('geocoding')
        ->setParam (['address' =>'santa cruz'])
        ->get();

return response()->json([$response]);
