Table 3: Types supported in place autocomplete requests

You may restrict results from a Place Autocomplete request to be of a certain type by passing a types parameter. The parameter specifies a type or a type collection, as listed in the supported types below. If nothing is specified, all types are returned. In general only a single type is allowed. The exception is that you can safely mix thegeocode and establishment types, but note that this will have the same effect as specifying no types. The supported types are:
  • geocode instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only geocoding (address) results. Generally, you use this request to disambiguate results where the location specified may be indeterminate.
  • establishment instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only business results.
  • the (regions) type collection instructs the Places service to return any result matching the following types:
    • locality
    • sublocality
    • postal_code
    • country
    • administrative_area_level_1
    • administrative_area_level_2
  • the (cities) type collection instructs the Places service to return results that match locality or administrative_area_level_3.
