Get city place id from Google Places API

Question

My app has a search for cities, but when the user enters the full address, he gets placeId that is more specific than a city -- for an address, or a business. I want the placeId for the city to store in my database.

I'm using Geocomplete http://ubilabs.github.io/geocomplete/

$('input[name="address"]').geocomplete().bind('geocode:result', function(event, result){
    console.log(result.place_id)
});

I need to get place_id city from place_id address and check validity in PHP.

Answer 1

You can avoid results that represent full addresses by using types to (regions) or (cities) , see details here .

Whether to use one or the other will depend on which countries you want results from, because sometimes cities can be administrative_area1 (eg Tokyo), see the note in the Place Autocomplete Address Form example.

Answer 2

根据geocomplete的文档，将触发事件geocode:result并显示此处描述的结果 ，您需要查看此处描述的address_components并使用administrative_area字段之一
