I’ve got a problem with Google Autocomplete rest api.

I need to return predictions only for certain radius, but “radius” parameter doesn’t filter incorrect results. Currently I get results from another cities and even other countries.

How can i force google autocomplete to not include any results that out of requested radius?

    The location and radius parameters only act as a bias to the results, there is currently no way to restrict results to a specific radius. You can however restrict results to a specific country by passing the components parameter as detailed in the documentation.

    If you use the location, radius and component parameters you will most likely get the desired results.

    An example search for Eiffel Tower, with a lat,lng location in Melbourne, Australia, radius 50km, and country restrict to Australia returns “Eiffel Tower Chocolate & Confectionery” as the real Eiffel tower is not within the radius or in the country that the request is restricted to:

    https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Eiffel+Tower&location=-37.816836,144.963123&radius=50000&components=country:au&sensor=false&key=your_api_key
