n8n-nodes-google-places-new

A community node for n8n that integrates with the Google Places API (New) — the modern, cost-efficient replacement for the legacy Places API.

Features

• Text Search — find places by a free-text query (e.g. "urgent care clinics in Austin TX")
• Nearby Search — find places within a radius of a lat/lng coordinate, with optional type filtering
• Get Place Details — retrieve full details for a known Place ID
• Field Mask control — only request the fields you need (speeds up requests + reduces billing)
• Secure credentials — API key stored as an encrypted n8n credential

Installation

In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter:

n8n-nodes-google-places-new

Or via CLI:

npm install n8n-nodes-google-places-new

Getting an API Key

1. Go to console.cloud.google.com
2. Create or select a project
3. Enable the Places API (New)
4. Create an API key under APIs & Services → Credentials
5. (Recommended) Restrict the key to the Places API

Field Mask Reference

The Field Mask controls which data is returned and what you're billed for. Common fields:

For Get Place Details, omit the places. prefix (e.g. use displayName not places.displayName).
