Thanks for your suggestion. A feature request has already been opened but the product team has not set a high priority on this work, and we cannot expect that a short term solution will be found. We have taken note of your interest.

Unfortunately Places API is not in a position to return more than 60 results.
Besides technical reasons (latency, among others) returning more than 60 results would make the API be more like a database or general-purpose search engine. We'd rather improve search quality so that users don't need to go so far down a long list of results.

Why can't you just copy and paste the Place Search query code and name it something different?
keep this query
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch
add this query
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearchunlimitedresults
This would make the API a lot more powerful and useful for developers.
The API is for developers - users won't need to search through a long list of results unless the developer using the API makes it that way.

I agree. Developers and pattern recognition specialists are going to do server to server calls and avoid a UI altogether in order to run analytics on each result. That is my use-case anyway. Therefore the google places API does not fully support my use-case yet
ze...@gmail.com
One of the problems of the limit is that it doesn't filter out already known places. We have registered users, and know their locations, but we would like to show all of the Places in a query without our already known Places. Basically, to show all of the Places that are not registered with us. This might help resolve the 60 maximum limit per query.

The APIs are for developers and not for users. Instead of optimizing the results for the users in google maps page, you are restricting the developers to access the data.
ri...@readyproject.com
Agreed. Developers need access to all of the data so we can find exactly what we want to display to users

It's a really important feature, which I need for my customers! Please apply this request so that we can fetch more than 60 places

I would also like to see this limit removed as it only accommodates uses cases where a user is in front of a screen. For my use case, I would like to retrieve the list of gas stations for my state for an aggregated report that my customer wants. I cannot achieve this with the current 60 record limit ... or perhaps someone could offer an alternative means to do this?

Any luck with this? We filter our results given the inefficiency of the tagging functionality. Due to this we receive so few amounts of results.
Any progress on implementing?

Any progress with this? Places API is useful for researchers in Real Estate and Urban Economics too.

Would be a great of you, if you'll make limits gone.

User searches in Google maps now return more than 3 pages of results, thus rendering the argument in #14 above a moot point. I'm assuming it returned a maximum of 3 pages in the past?
he...@gmail.com
Is there a workaround? Can business license do more than 60 results?
ni...@gmail.com
Has this issue been fixed with the result limiter? Looking to access more than just 3 pages of results/data. I thought the Places API output would be similar to manually searching on google maps using keywords and giving me 20-50+ pages of results
an...@gmail.com
are there any workaround for more than 60 results? like passing through the region of interest which someone has implement
is...@gmail.com
I would also wan to be able to load more than 60 results per search/location without this limitation, so we can give our customers competitive analysis on local businesses that needs optimisation actions.
Please google, consider allowing to access all available businesses on a location radius.
Question: Is there no way we can repeat the search and start from pagination = 3 so we get the next 60 leads from the next 3 pages? in multiple queries?

My guess is this limitation has very little to do with "wanting to do what's best for the user" (which indeed is moot because these APIs are for developers as was mentioned), and everything to do with legal/anti-trust – ie: not giving anything more than superficial access to the underlying places database.
As was mentioned this limitation cuts off slews of useful scenarios that involve any sort of analysis or aggregation cases, which is arguably where any innovation that could be created on top of the places data would rest.
This frustrating limitation is by design, not by oversight. Until the EU and US step in with data laws and force Google to open up this locked-down access, I doubt our P4 feature request is going to get the significant attention it would require to be implemented with any spirit of the problem at hand.
Luckily, the US Department of Justice has begun looking into it (

its about hoarding data and making money off of it. it's not gonna happen. you have to workaround around this problem. its a money problem, not a technical problem.

I wouldn't even mind paying for it, it would be nice if I can do a bigger data query. Trying to pre-seed a database with locations
sa...@gmail.com
I completely agree with this. For developers it should be a great advance to get all data in the API result!
