Get restaurants near my location

Question

I've tried to find a suitable Google Places API that takes in My Location and returns the nearby restaurants.

Currently, I've been able to find only restaurants in a "particular" city.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=restaurants+in+Sydney&sensor=true&key=*MyKey*

Is there a way of implementing this?

Implementing Google Places API that takes in "My Location"[and not my city] and returns the nearby "restaurants".. — user188995, Aug 15 '12 at 06:52

Is this what you are looking for?

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/xml?location=49.260691,-123.137784&radius=500&sensor=false&key=*PlacesAPIKey*&types=restaurant

types is optional

Yes. This way what I was looking for. I'd had already found it but was having trouble in assigning the "lat" and "long". I wanted to make the script automatically determine the "lat" and "long". – user188995 Aug 16 '12 at 11:25
