Get "Image Media Type" equivalent of "Places (Search) API" from "Geocoding and Search API v7 service"

I am interested in getting images for a place. I found that the Image Media Type from Places (Search) API can provide this data, as documented here.

But Places (Search) API also mentions that it is In Maintenance and that Note: This service is no longer being actively developed. We will only provide critical fixes for this service in future. Instead, you can use the new Geocoding and Search API v7 service.

I couldn't find anything equivalent of Image Media Type in Geocoding and Search API v7 service.

  1. Did I miss something in the Geocoding and Search API v7 service documentation about getting images for a place?
  2. If not, then should we still consume images from Places (Search) API or are there any other guidance/alternatives?
Solution

  • Image media type is only available for automotive customer in case of Geocoding and Search API v7 service and you can continue using Places (Search) API .
