Input
Parameter defines the search query. A query that would be used to provide completion options.
Parameter defines the GPS coordinates of the location where you want the search to originate from. Its value must match the following format: `@` + `latitude` + `,` + `longitude` + `,` + `zoom/map_height` This will form a string that looks like this: e.g. `@40.7455096,-74.0083012,14z` or `@43.8521864,11.2168835,10410m`. The `zoom` attribute ranges from `3z`, map completely zoomed out - to `21z`, map completely zoomed in. Alternatively, you can specify `map_height` in meters (e.g., `10410m`).
Parameter defines the country to use for the Google Maps Autocomplete search. It's a two-letter country code. (e.g., `us` for the United States, `uk` for United Kingdom, or `fr` for France) Head to the Google countries page for a full list of supported Google countries.
Parameter defines the language to use for the Google Maps Autocomplete search. It's a two or three-letter language code. (e.g., `en` for English, `es` for Spanish, or `fr` for French), optionally followed by a two-letter or three-digit region code (e.g., `en-gb` for British English, or `es-419` for Latin American Spanish). Head to the Google languages page for a full list of supported Google languages.
Cursor pointer defines the position of cursor for the query provided, position starts from 0 which is a case where cursor is placed before the query `|query`. If not provided acts as cursor is placed in the end of query `query|`.
Parameter defines the fields you want to include in the output, reducing payload size for faster response. See the JSON Restrictor documentation for more details.
