I tried Google place API, it's returning phone for a place "formatted_phone_number" or "international_phone_number".
But it is not returning for all places (just for 1 in 100 places). But, Currently I want to get phone number for each place (For example :- Hotel ).
I will send the Latitude and Longitude information to API it need to return nearest Hotel address and Phone number as well.
Please suggestion me better API for this.
Quality of the data (such as phone numbers) that you can receive from any Places API depends purely upon the quality of the data backing up that API. This will vary from vendor to vendor and coverage will differ from country to country, city to city and so on.
Your best bet here would be to run some sort of "beauty contest" to get a feel for which vendor holds the best data set that is relevant to you.
To get the phone number of a place using the Nokia RESTful Places API for example, is a two stage process:
Again not all places will contain phone information. Now you could chain the response from the first request to loop through the placeIds received and place the phone numbers on screen.
An alternative would be to use the existing JavaScript API wrapper to display information as shown in the code below, you'll need your own app id and token to get it to work
