About Autocomplete sessions

An Autocomplete session includes some Autocomplete requests (to retrieve suggestions on a place as the user types), and at most one Places Details request (to retrieve details about the place selected by the user). The same session token is passed to the Autocomplete and the subsequent Place Detail request. A session starts with the first Autocomplete request (which typically happens when the user starts typing). A Places Details call is made when the user has selected one of the Autocomplete suggestions. If a user does not select a suggestion, no Places Details call is made.

After a user has selected a place (that is, after a Places Details call is made), you must start a new session using a new session token.

Autocomplete sessions can be generated from the following APIs:

A session token is good for one user session and shouldn't be used for more than one user session. If you reuse a session token, the session is considered invalid and the requests are charged as if no session token was provided.

The Autocomplete requests and the Places Details requests using sessions are billed on different SKUs.

About Places Data SKUs

The three Places Data SKUs are: Basic Data, Contact Data, and Atmosphere Data.

One or more Data SKUs are triggered for:

  • Android: each request to fetchPlace() or findCurrentPlace()
  • iOS: each call to fetchPlaceFromPlaceID: or findPlaceLikelihoodsFromCurrentLocationWithPlaceFields:
  • Web service: each Places request depending on the fields specified in the request

Data SKUs are always charged in addition to the base SKU for the request triggering them. For example, a Place Details request including Basic Data fields will be charged both under the Basic Data SKU and the Place Details SKU.

For the web service, these Places APIs requests allow you to specify the data fields to return:

For the web service, these Places APIs calls DO NOT support specifying the returned fields. These calls always return all the Places data, charging the three Places Data SKUs in addition to the charge for each API request:

SKU: Basic Data
