4 years ago Hi, @SelvarajKaruppusamy. Thanks for the suggestion.
I just ran the first two queries you provided with my API Key, and both give almost the same result. Please refer to Google Maps API Docs for more information.
I understand that somehow your case needs 'findplacefromtext' API, but it only throws candidates' ids, not prediction results. Using such API sounds sort of workaround to me. Thus, it is not the best practice to add to this package in my opinion.
My first suggestion is to figure out why there is no result in your case, it should definitely throw some results and I don't think it is 'strictbounds' problem. Another suggestion is to fork this package and customize as you need, then add to your project.
Below are the results on my side with the APIs you provided.

On search, not all places are listed when 'strictbounds' is enabled
Hi @fysoul17, first of all, thank you very much for creating this package. I am using this package to find a place from a specific region, but it doesn't work when the 'strictbounds' parameter is enabled.
strictbounds disabled, valid results https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=brewsky&inputtype=textquery®ion=in&key=YOUR_API_KEY
strictbounds enabled, no results https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=brewsky&inputtype=textquery®ion=in&key=YOUR_API_KEY&strictbounds=true
Possible Solution I think this behavior is because of using
/autocompleteAPI (via google_maps_webservice) instead of the/findplacefromtextAPI.This works, https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=brewsky&inputtype=textquery®ion=in&key=YOUR_API_KEY&strictbounds=true
I agree that this approach will cost (places * n) additional API requests since the place details need to be fetched using the
/place/detailsAPI, https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?place_id=ChIJCbkJxBMVrjsRq0aAA3mwudg&key=YOUR_API_KEYMaybe this approach can be supported on opt-in and disabled by default. I don't know a better way of doing this, suggestions welcomed.
Moreover, the dependency package google_maps_webservice doesn't support finding the places using
/findplacefromtextAPI now. I would be able to submit a PR if this is the only solution.I haven't used Google maps API's a lot, please correct me if this doesn't make much sense. What do you think?
