Where can I find a place id on Google Maps?

I want to get the place images according to the instructions here.

According to this document I need the "place id" of the place.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere

Where can I find the placeid?

Maybe try the TextSeach option or else try the Nearbysearch option which I have mentioned below maybe it works for you.

1.https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?query={address}&key={_apiConfig.Key}

2.https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query={address}&key={_apiConfig.Key}

In response, you will get all information with a place id which is help full.

The above solution works in most cases but sometimes fails when you have some individuals using the same address as a business. In case you have exhausted the options from the API and manual search provided in the Google documentation Here Or here

You can use the manual suggestion provided at this page which has always worked for me https://www.launch2success.com/guide/cant-find-google-places-id-trick-finding-google-places-id/

You may want a Place ID Text search by searching the place name.

Your sample request may look like

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=fish+market+sydney&key="YOUR_API_KEY"

You will find the "place_id" in the return JSON String.

The place_id is in the SearchResults from any of the SearchRequests:

from the documentation:

{
   "html_attributions" : [],
   "results" : [
      {
         "geometry" : {
            "location" : {
               "lat" : -33.870775,
               "lng" : 151.199025
            }
         },
         "icon" : "http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/travel_agent-71.png",
         "id" : "21a0b251c9b8392186142c798263e289fe45b4aa",
