Google Maps Api - How can I get coordinates for a "Searched Place/Zone"?

Question

So, I have some experience with Google Maps API, and have read some questions similar to mine around here, ie. Google Maps API - Getting Street Coordinates

Now, what I need to get done is, To query Google Maps API with a Zone argument, and get its coordinates as response (preferably in JSON format), queries should be performed within one city only. Let's say that city is Medellin, Colombia (coords: lat: 6.236165; long: -75.575262), And that my query(zone) is: "Poblado" (a district inside Medellin), As a result of such query, I'd like to have its coordinates returned.

How can I accomplish this task?

Please, help me,

As always thank you in advance,

Sincerely,

You can use component filtering of Google Geolocation API.
