Google places: Use multiple types

This question is an update to some outdated questions:

Because I need a way to get all near restaurants, stores, and churches I thought Google Places API seemed to do what I want, but I am having some trouble with filtering: I want to search for multiple places-types in one request.

let url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?"
url += "location=" + 79.999 + "," + 8.999
url += "radius=" + 2000
url += "type=" + mytype// ??
url += "key=" + mykey

This is what my url should look like. But I got trouble setting multiple types like:

Setting mytype to maybe "restaurant" is working quite fine.

Setting mytype to "restaurant,store,church" is not working.

Setting mytype to "[restaurant,store,church]" is also not working.

I know that the feature searching for multiple place types was disabled by Google a long time ago. But using the javascript API works absolutely fine with multiple types so the URL request probably should also work this way.

Using multiple types is not possible in Google Places

https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search

Go through the above link:

Under Nearby Search requests section you will find the answer.

Seperating the types with "|" is doing the job. 

let mytype = "restaurant|food|store"
let url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?"
url += "location=" + 79.999 + "," + 8.999
url += "radius=" + 2000
url += "type=" + mytype// ??
url += "key=" + mykey

Volià, hope I could help.
