Place Photos (New) lets you add high quality photographic content to your application by giving you access to the millions of photos stored in the Google Places database. Using the Place Photos (New) API, you can access the photos and resize the image to the optimal size for your application.

All requests to the Place Photos (New) API must include a photo resource name, which uniquely identifies the photo to return. You can obtain the photo resource name by using:

• Place Details (New)
• Text Search (New)
• Nearby Search (New)

To include the photo resource name in the response from a Place Details (New), Text Search (New), or Nearby Search (New) request, make sure that you include the photos field in the field mask of the request.
