Hello there !

After I solved my issue with the Python library, I was wondering if it was possible to search with a Place ID on Google map

A Places ID uniquely identify a place in Google Maps, example : ChIJj61dQgK6j4AR4GeTYWZsKWw

Unfortunately, adding your Place ID to Google Maps does not work, nor does it work in Google Search.

But from the Google Maps URLs API documentation you can get this URL : https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Google&query_place_id=PLACE_ID

Example, if you searched your way to Googleplex 😉 : https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Google&query_place_id=ChIJj61dQgK6j4AR4GeTYWZsKWw
