What is the `sensor` parameter for in the Google Places API?

by

Edit: The sensor parameter is no longer required, and will now be ignored if it’s used.

The parameter doesn’t impact the results. It’s a parameter that Google is required to collect for Google’s data providers who charge differently based on whether the request uses a sensor or not.

see Google docs
