获取特定纬度+经度或街道地址的Placeid

Question

In Excel, I have both Street Address and Lat+Long and trying to get the PlaceID from Google Places API Web Service. I research Geocoding API and Places API and did some VBA testing. The only way to get PlaceID for specific place is to do Text Search or Nearby Search.

Is there a way to get it from the address you have directly in VBA? I've seen a demo website that using JavaScript to obtain the PlaceID, but don't know how to incorporate the JavaScript into Excel+VBA.

Answer 1

Sound like you want NearbySearch (not sure why you don't think that gives you what you want):

A Nearby Search lets you search for places within a specified area by keyword or type. A Nearby Search must always include a location, which can be specified in one of two ways:

• a LatLngBounds.
• a circular area defined as the combination of the location property — specifying the center of the circle as a LatLng object — and a radius, measured in meters.

A Places Nearby search is initiated with a call to the PlacesService's nearbySearch() method, which will return an array of PlaceResult objects.

 var map; var infowindow; function initialize() { var pyrmont = new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8665433, 151.1956316); map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), { center: {lat:40.689249,lng:-74.0445}, zoom: 15 }); var request = { location: {lat:40.689249,lng:-74.0445}, radius: 10 }; infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(); var service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map); service.nearbySearch(request, callback); } function callback(results, status) { if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) { for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) { createMarker(results[i]); } } } function createMarker(place) { var placeLoc = place.geometry.location; var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ map: map, position: place.geometry.location }); google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { infowindow.setContent(place.name+"<br>"+place.place_id); infowindow.open(map, this); document.getElementById('placeId').innerHTML = place.name+"<br>"+marker.getPosition().toUrlValue(6)+"<br>"+place.place_id; }); } google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
