Place ID & CID Lookup FAQ
What is the difference between a Google Maps Place ID (ChIJ...), CID, and Hex ID (0x...)?
A Place ID (e.g. ChIJSy28upiAhYARkoxpzFnW7b4) is Google's canonical string identifier used across Places API and review widgets. A CID (Customer ID, e.g. 13757888117856636050) is the 64-bit unsigned integer identifier used in maps.google.com/?cid=... URLs. A Hex Feature ID (e.g. 0x80858098babc2d4b:0xbeedd659cc698c92) encodes the S2 cell and CID in hexadecimal—notice that converting 0xbeedd659cc698c92 to decimal equals CID 13757888117856636050! GoogleMapsAPI.io returns all three identifiers on every business record.
How can I convert thousands of business names or addresses to Place IDs via API?
Send GET requests to https://api.googlemapsapi.io/v1/places/search?q=<name+address>&limit=1 with your gm_live_ API key. Each call costs just 5 Credits ($0.0002–$0.0005)—up to 98% cheaper than Google Places Text Search ($32–$35 per 1,000 calls)—and charges 0 Credits if no match is found.
Can I pass a numeric CID directly into /v1/places/details or /v1/places/reviews?
Yes. Both GET /v1/places/details and GET /v1/places/reviews accept a ChIJ... Place ID, a numeric cid, or a 0x... hex google_id interchangeably, resolving them automatically.
Do Google Maps Place IDs expire or restricted from database storage?
While Google Cloud's Terms allow caching raw Place IDs, they prohibit storing accompanying phone numbers, coordinates, websites, and ratings for more than 30 days. With GoogleMapsAPI.io, you can store Place IDs, CIDs, coordinates, phones, websites, and reviews permanently in PostgreSQL or Snowflake.
