    This is a very good request. For reference, the API documentation now says you must choose which Places API when beginning a project:

    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/choose-api

    With the release of Places API (New), your first task is to decide which set of APIs to use. This is true if you are a new customer or an existing customer already using the APIs. Use this guide to understand the key differences between the two APIs.

    I am mainly interested in the expanded place types, specifically electric_vehicle_charging_station as I want to write some optimization logic using python (pandas) dataframes using popular machine learning libraries (such as Tensorflow) and do not want to have to transfer the location data from a Javascript API framework over to a Python framework via file exports since it will be quite large.

    If you are looking for Python client libraries for the following APIs, see the Google Maps Platform APIs in the Cloud Client Libraries for Python (releases).

    The new APIs will not be added to this client library.

    @wangela:

    Thanks! Does this library correspond to this documentation?

    @theRocket Yes, as linked from the README. I've noted that the README and documentation text are confusing since they do not refer to the "new" term and the refdocs even call it "v1".

    "@wangela: The new APIs will not be added to this client library." Why not support the New API? what alternative python library would you recommend using to obtain a wrapper around the Places (New) API?

    @chemeng

    Should we expect this library to stop being maintained and transition over to the google cloud client libraries?
