is there any way to extract place details in google maps API?

Question

Currently I am using Serp Api to extract places, but there is some information left. Like Question and Answers, At this place.(https://i.stack.imgur.com/giaUG.png)

I have tried this code

from serpapi import GoogleSearch

params = {
  "device": "desktop",
  "engine": "google_maps",
  "q": "ENOC | 1086 | Opp Emirates Int School",
  "google_domain": "google.com",
  "ll": "@40.7455096,-74.0083012,14z",
  "data": "!4m5!3m4!1s0x3e5f6cbec8c4424d:0x951dd76fff166da1!8m2!3d25.06475!4d55.1546667",
  "type": "place",
  "hl": "en",
  "api_key": "secret_api_key"
}

search = GoogleSearch(params)
results = search.get_dict()

i have shared image above which is showing 'question and answers', 'At this place' which i want to extract but couldn't getting with this code. — chintan bhimani, Nov 29 '22 at 04:54
Hey, @chintanbhimani. I'm a devrel at SerpApi. Currently, we don't extract Q&A data from the Google Maps Place result. [I've opened a corresponding issue on our public roadmap](https://github.com/serpapi/public-roadmap/issues/520). Feel free to add additional details if needed. Thank you for letting us know about this — Dmitriy Zub, Nov 29 '22 at 12:46
@DmitriyZub and what about 'At this Place' ? like in image jailbird - meadows — chintan bhimani, Nov 30 '22 at 04:13
@chintanbhimani currently we don't extract data from this section also. [I've created a separate feature request on our public-roadmap](https://github.com/serpapi/public-roadmap/issues/522). — Dmitriy Zub, Nov 30 '22 at 09:57
@chintanbhimani ["at the place" results in supported now](https://github.com/serpapi/public-roadmap/issues/522). We've pushed this feature 2 days ago. Could you try this on your end? — Dmitriy Zub, Dec 07 '22 at 08:49

"At this place" section has been recently added, as well as "Questions and Answers". Here's how you can access it:

from serpapi import GoogleSearch
import json

params = {
  "api_key": "your serpapi key",
  "device": "desktop",
  "engine": "google_maps",
  "type": "place",
  "hl": "en",
  "data": "!4m5!3m4!1s0x3e5f6cbec8c4424d:0x951dd76fff166da1!8m2!3d25.06475!4d55.1546667"
}

search = GoogleSearch(params)
results = search.get_dict()

print(results['place_results']['at_this_place']['type'])

print(json.dumps(results['place_results']['at_this_place']['places'], indent=2))

print(json.dumps(results['place_results']['questions_and_answers'], indent=2))

Outputs:

As a side note, you don't need to use ll when data parameter is used (place results).

This is because data parameter holds the same information also, i.e latitude, and longitude except for zoom as in the ll parameter. In the case of place results, zoom is not needed :-)

Hope it makes sense.

is there any way to extract place details in google maps API?
