google places api doesnt give me any results

I am building an app that makes use of google places api,i use this url

the desired link doesnt produce any results when i use it in the browser

and i use json to parse the data coming from google places but i get this unusual warning which says NSString may not respond to JSONValue

the code is as follows

-(IBAction)nearbyLocations:(id)sender
{        
    NSString *url=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=37.329558,122.025002&radius=500&types=atm&sensor=false&key=AIzaSyCIZ8MxCoMsfgj0ytE7azXGfjs_E__2Nhw"];
    NSURL *googleRequestURL=[NSURL URLWithString:url];
    dispatch_async(kBgQueue, ^{
        NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: googleRequestURL];
        [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(fetchedData:) withObject:data waitUntilDone:YES];
    });
}

-(void)fetchedData:(NSData *)responseData
{
    //parse out the json data
    //NSError* error;

    NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"%@",jsonString);
    NSDictionary* json =[jsonString JSONValue];
    //[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:kNilOptions error:&error];

    //The results from Google will be an array obtained from the NSDictionary object with the key "results".
    NSArray* places = [json objectForKey:@"results"];

    //Write out the data to the console.
    NSLog(@"Google Data: %@", places);
}

You need a larger radius. In the URL you provided, I changed radius=500 to radius=5000 and it works. New URL. Basically there are no ATMs within 500 meters of that lat/long, but there are ATMs within 5000 meters.

That's one issue. The other issue is in Tsar's comment to your question.
