Google Places API returns wrong results

This issue seems to have started today (2016-08-10) and is still ongoing as of this post. As of yesterday, the places api was returning correct results.

There seem to be 2 locations that are being inserted into api requests for all coordinate requests, these are:

  1. Hôtel de Ville (Paris) (48.856924,2.3526841)
  2. University of Illinois at Chicago Hospita (Chicago) (41.8696656,-87.6704474)

These places are added to all requests, no matter what coordinates or radius are provided.

Anyone else experiencing this, or is it some setting that I have enabled that is including these places by default?

This is the API in use https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search

This looks like a bug, the same results came back from a request near the origin: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=-0.75,-0.75&radius=100&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Please file a bug in the Google Maps API issue tracker: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/entry?template=Places%20API%20-%20Bug
