Google Places API and return types

[JavierSanttiz]

Good morning, I'm writing here to find out if someone can help me with the following issue. I'm using the Google Places API to determine the type of the place of interest I want to examine. These place types are described in the documentation on page: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/supported_types?hl=en . I noticed that the ones that best match the type of information I'm looking for are the types in Table 1, but if I understood correctly, they are just parameters that I can use to filter the search. The types described in Table 2, on the other hand, are the types returned by the API call. I'm wondering if it's possible, with some configuration, to retrieve the tags corresponding to Table 1.

Thanks,

Javier

I've run into the same problem, that there are far more categories in the site listing than the tags specify, and it's not even possible to get to the translations using the API. The API is pretty limited and doesn't even show other things, like a list of user reviews, etc.
