Place Autocomplete

https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/autocomplete

Default options

client = GooglePlaces::Api::Client.new("AIzaSyAdutrZU_b83yb4Otn-6yuJ79QvFR9anIM") # Xml currently not supported 

response = client.autocomplete("Riga")
response.status # Ok
response.predictions[0].description # Riga, Latvia

Custom options

client = GooglePlaces::Api::Client.new("AIzaSyAdutrZU_b83yb4Otn-6yuJ79QvFR9anIM")

response = client.autocomplete("Riga", {"types" => "(cities)", "language" => "nl"})
response.status # Ok
response.predictions[0].description # Riga, Letland

OpenSSL workaround

# Some users face OpenSSL issues, in this case tls can be made insecure
client = GooglePlaces::Api::Client.new("AIzaSyAdutrZU_b83yb4Otn-6yuJ79QvFR9anIM", GooglePlaces::Formats::Json, tls = false)
