Google place ID

The text identifier Google assigns to a place in Google Maps, used to look the same business up again.

Definition

What Google place ID means

A place ID is an identifier Google gives each business and location in Maps, such as ChIJszGcvzV0bIcR3_6j5Gru8sM. It is the key for asking about one place instead of searching by name, which may match several businesses.

Place IDs are stable but not permanent: Google can change them when a business moves or listings are merged. Google's own guidance for its Places API is to refresh stored place IDs that are more than twelve months old.

Clair's Google Maps search returns place_id for each business, and the Place endpoint takes it to return that one business with its hours, rating histogram, and reviews.
