post/google-maps/v1/place/search2 credits

Search places by text query with optional lat/lng geo-bias. Returns up to 200 places with name, address, rating, categories, phone, website, coordinates.

Working example
Parameters

What to look for — business name, type or free text, ideally with a place hint ('pizza Brooklyn', 'Katz's Delicatessen Manhattan').

Latitude to bias the search around. Strongly recommended — without it Google assumes the central US. (-90–90)

Longitude to bias the search around (pair with lat). (-180–180)

How many places to return (1–200). The engine pages Google's 20-per-page results internally — no page/cursor needed. (1–200)

Result language (Google hl code: en, de, tr, es…). Affects category names and localized fields.

Region bias (Google gl country code: us, de, tr…).

Advanced: viewport altitude in meters — smaller = tighter local results, larger = wider area. (100–10000000)
