Types supported in venue autocomplete requests

You may restrict results from a Venue Autocomplete request to be of a certain type by passing a types parameter. The parameter specifies a type or a type collection, as listed in the supported types below. If nothing is specified, all types are returned. In general only a single type is allowed. The exception is that you can safely mix the geocode and establishment types, but note that this will have the same effect as specifying no types. The supported types are:

• geocode instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only geocoding results, rather than business results. Generally, you use this request to disambiguate results where the location specified may be indeterminate.
• address instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only geocoding results with a precise address. Generally, you use this request when you know the user will be looking for a fully specified address.
• establishment instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only business results. The (regions) type collection instructs the Places service to return any result matching the following types:
  • locality
  • sublocality
  • postal_code
  • country
  • admin_level_1
  • admin_level_2
• The (cities) type collection instructs the Places service to return results that match locality or admin_level_3.
