Get reviews from google map api

Question

I have to get reviews from Google map API. details are on this page.

https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details#PlaceDetailsResults

the details will fetch from this page:-

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=CmRYAAAAciqGsTRX1mXRvuXSH2ErwW-jCINE1aLiwP64MCWDN5vkXvXoQGPKldMfmdGyqWSpm7BEYCgDm-iv7Kc2PF7QA7brMAwBbAcqMr5i1f4PwTpaovIZjysCEZTry8Ez30wpEhCNCXpynextCld2EBsDkRKsGhSLayuRyFsex6JA6NPh9dyupoTH3g&sensor=true&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere

My problem is I can't find what is reference in request. and how I find this parameter value from my Google plus page.

Answer 1

A more recent way to do this:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid={place_id}&key={api_key}

• place_id: https://developers.google.com/places/place-id
• api_key: https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/get-api-key
