How to get Coordinates from Google Places API in ios Swift


I am using Alamofire and SwiftyJSON to auto complete Google Places. I integrated it well and good like this :

enter image description here

Now, what I need is if I select a place from the table view, it is selected in the text field. But how can I get the respective latitude and longitude of that place, so that I can add annotation of that place in MapKit

Is it legal to get details from Google Place API and display them on apple's MapKit? I got this doubt after seeing Viking's question


Solution

  • You can get the coordinates from the GMSPlace object. See the documentation.

    Regarding if you can use google places alongside apple map, no you can't. As stated in their Terms of Use

    Make sure that any maps used by your app to show the location of places retrieved from the Google Places API for iOS are Google maps.
