How to use CORS to implement JavaScript Google Places API request

by

You are trying to use the Google Places API Web Service on client side whereas it is designed for server side applications. That’s probably why appropriate CORS response headers are not set by the server.

As explained in the Notes at the beginning of the Place Details documentation, you should use the Places Library in the Google Maps JavaScript API:

If you’re building a client-side application, take a look at the Google Places API for Android, the Google Places API for iOS, and the Places Library in the Google Maps JavaScript API.

Note: you will need to enable the Google Maps JavaScript API in your Google Developer Console first.

Here is a way you can proceed to get place details (based on the example from the documentation):

<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function logPlaceDetails() {
          var service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(document.getElementById('map'));
          service.getDetails({
            placeId: 'ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4'
          }, function (place, status) {
            console.log('Place details:', place);
          });
        }
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyAW4CQp3KxwYkrHFZERfcGSl--rFce4tNw&libraries=places&callback=logPlaceDetails"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="map"></div>
</body>
