Google Maps API Geocoder不会按placeId返回位置

Question

I use AutocompleteService.getPlacePredictions method to get autocomplete items for my drop down. Very often that method returns "long" placeIds that look like this (actual placeId):

ChIJx55rzdwQ9YgRHB-NARRWZyuaBjAxNzExIERvbm5hIEx5bm4gRHJpdmUsIFNteXJuYSwgR0EsIFVuaXRlZCBTdGF0ZXM

If I then try to pass that place ID to Geocoder I get status of ZERO_RESULTS and no places:

new google.maps.Geocoder().geocode(
  { placeId: "thatLongPlaceId"},
  function (results, status) { /* no place data returned */ });

But at the same time if I make the following GET call the same placeId returns the expected address:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?key=MyApiKey&placeid=ChIJx55rzdwQ9YgRHB-NARRWZyuaBjAxNzExIERvbm5hIEx5bm4gRHJpdmUsIFNteXJuYSwgR0EsIFVuaXRlZCBTdGF0ZXM

What am I doing wrong? What's the proper way of using that long place ID to get place data?

Answer 1

I think the autocomplete endpoint is not returning valid placeids as of today or yesterday. I'm running into a similar problem.

See Google Place Autocomplete API returning wrong place id

Answer 2

The ZERO_RESULTS problem isn't because of the long place ids. To see this, try using the (long) place id from an autocomplete result for an address in Sydney, for eg

The call to Geocoder.geocode should return 1 result.

Long story short, the Geocoding API (that google.maps.Geocoder uses) hasn't been fixed for the problem in https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=11107 .
