The best way to know if a venue is open 24 hours using periods ?

[shawn-frank]

This is not really a bug but the documentation isn't really clear on this and not sure the best forum to pursue this.

I am using the places iOS SDK to get various different places and display the opening hours of a business and for the most part this works great.

I am using GMSPeriod to display the opening hours, the part that I am struggling with is knowing if a venue is open for 24 hours or not.

The documentation for GMSPeriod states

If the period is representing open 24hrs, it will only have the openEvent with time as "0000".

With this statement, I was expecting it to give me an openEvent with a value of 0000 for each day, however, what I can see is only one period when a business is open for 24 hours

Shouldn't we get a period for every day ?

What if a business is open for 24 hours on a specific day and regular hours on another day - how would the response differ ?
