    Wow, this is awesome. I was working with someone who was giving a lot of money to serpapi.com every month to get access to this data.

    Don't they have official APIs for this? I think "Nearby Search" and "Place Details" have the same info?

      I think Google gutted their Maps API and also made it ridiculously expensive
