In order to communicate with a Google Places API, you must first generate your own API key. Please take a look at Introduction - Google Places API.
You must provide API key to a GPlaceAPI
before making any request using it.
//Open "AppDelegate.h" and set your API_KEY
[[GPlaceAPISetup sharedInstance] setApi_Key:@"SET_API_KEY"];
CLLocationCoordinate2D location = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(51.501103,-0.124565);
GPPlaceSearchRequest *request =[[GPPlaceSearchRequest alloc] initWithLocationCoordinate:location];
request.radius = 5000;
[request doFetchPlaces:^(GPPlaceSearchResponse *response, NSError *error) {
if(!error){
if(response.status == GPRequestStatusOK) {
// Access place results by below model
GPResult *result =response.results[0];
NSLog(@"%@",result.name);
}
}
