Google Maps Place Details API

One Google Maps place by place ID or by name and city: everything the search endpoint returns plus plus code, owner description, rating distribution, review highlights and the handful of reviews Google shows signed-out visitors, with an explicit coverage figure such as "5 of 4,082 reviews visible". Collected exactly as a signed-out visitor sees Google Maps: we never log in or use accounts, so fields hidden by Google's "limited view" (price level, popular times, menus, the full review history) come back as null, never estimated. Reviewer names are pseudonymized unless you ask for them. Not-found places, blocks and failures are free.
