Google Places Search
Google Places search - returns local businesses with names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, review counts, hours, categories, and cids. Use for finding local businesses, restaurants, services. Returns cid values needed for the Reviews endpoint. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.
