How I can get places with specific types using Google Places API?

Question

I need all locations of type cafe, gas_station, and restaurant using Google Places Api. Here is my query via the API:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=41.104805,29.024291&radius=50000&sensor=true&key=AIzaSyAVH0qHD6BPxRlnck3rIqcxC5TTwOTyfds&types=gas_station||shopping_mall

This returns mosque location types only. I'm not getting shopping_mall, gas_station, or restaurant types. here i am checking type in google place api

How can i get all these types?

Since the answer above was posted, Google has added support for additional location types.

Unfortunately, Google Places API does not appear to have anything under those categories in that area.

Use types=establishment to get a more complete list of businesses etc. in that area.

Unfortunately, you will have to find some other way to determine what is a gas station, etc. Google Places API does not appear to have that data, at least at this time.

It may be possible to contribute that data yourself.

It was suggested in other SO thread, that you use 'keyword' instead of 'types' in your query to Google. Related SO thread: How can I search places with specific types using Google Places API?
