Google AI Mode places schema

This section documents the places data returned by the Google AI Mode endpoint: inline place cards extracted when AI Mode detects location intent, part of the AI Mode response so no separate API call is needed. Places appear in the order Google AI Mode ranks them in the answer; array index 0 is the top result. For use cases, pricing context, and copy-paste examples, see the AI Mode places API page on the product site.

For GPS-enriched location data with latitude and longitude coordinates, see map. places and map may both appear in the same response.

Example request

Places are intent-detected; no flag is required.

{
  "prompt": "best ramen restaurants in Tokyo",
  "country": "JP"
