How to search google places api using keywords?

Question

I want to build an application that allows users to search Google Places and have the data represented in a simple format like a tabular data. Say if my user type "san francisco restaurants" my application will then return a table with all restaurants in san francisco. I don't need to display maps just the names and address of restaurants. I have looked into Google Places API and this requires a latitude and longitude in its parameters. How will I get that lat. long. base on the query? Thanks!

您可以使用Google地理编码API（http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=san+francisco&sensor=false）来获取经度/纬度，但您必须拿出某种解析方法可以从查询字符串中获取位置信息（“旧金山的餐馆”与“旧金山的餐馆”）
