Ortssymbole kennzeichnen die verschiedenen Arten von Orten, z. B. Cafés, Bibliotheken und Museen. Sie können URLs für Symbole im PNG- oder SVG-Format sowie die entsprechende Hintergrundfarbe des Symbols über „Ort finden“, „Place Details“, „Suchergebnisse in der Umgebung“ und „Text Search“-Anfragen anfordern. Symbole können inline verwendet werden.
Jedes Symbol wird durch zwei Antwortfelder definiert:
Die Basis-URI des Symbols enthält die Basis-URL für ein nicht farbiges Symbol ohne die Dateityperweiterung. Sie müssen dem URI .svg oder .png anhängen, um das Symbol anzufordern.
Die Hintergrundfarbe des Symbols enthält den standardmäßigen HEX-Farbcode für die Kategorie des Orts.
Beispiel
In den folgenden Beispielen wird gezeigt, wie Sie einen Symbol-URI und eine Hintergrundfarbe für die neue Places API und die alte Places API anfordern. Beachten Sie, dass sich die Anfrage und die Antworten für die beiden Versionen der API unterscheiden.
Places API (New)
Im folgenden Beispiel wird die Funktion Text Search (New) verwendet, um den Anzeigenamen eines Orts sowie die Antwortfelder iconMaskBaseUri und iconBackgroundColor zurückzugeben:
{"places":[{"iconMaskBaseUri":"https://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/v2/cafe_pinlet","iconBackgroundColor":"#FF9E67","displayName":{"text":"SKÖG Haus Coffee & Tea","languageCode":"en"}}]}
Places API (alte Version)
Das folgende Beispiel zeigt eine „Find Place“-Anfrage (alt) mit den Feldern icon_mask_base_uri und icon_background_color:
Das folgende Beispiel zeigt, wie die Felder icon_mask_base_uri und icon_background_color in der Antwort auf eine „Find Place“-Anfrage (alt) zurückgegeben werden.
Wenn Sie ein Symbol anzeigen möchten, hängen Sie die gewünschte Dateiendung („.png“ oder „.svg“) an den zurückgegebenen Symbol-URI an und kombinieren Sie das Symbol mit der zurückgegebenen Hintergrundfarbe. So fügen Sie beispielsweise das SVG-Symbol auf einer Webseite ein:
In den folgenden Tabellen finden Sie alle verfügbaren Ortssymbole nach Kategorie. Standardmäßig werden sie mit einer schwarzen Glyphe angezeigt. Die Hintergrundfarbe des Symbols richtet sich nach der Kategorie des Orts.
Ortskategorie: Essen und Trinken (Symbolhintergrundfarbe #FF9E67)

You can request URLs for icons in PNG or SVG format,\nas well as the corresponding icon background color, with Find Place,\nPlace Details, Nearby Search, and Text Search requests. Icons can be used inline.\n\nEach icon is defined by two response fields:\n\n- The **icon base URI** contains the base URL for a non-colored icon, minus the file type extension. You must append `.svg` or `.png` to the URI to request the icon.\n- The **icon background color** contains the default HEX color code for the place's category.\n\n| Icon URLs may change, so be sure to always use **icon base URI** to look up the URL for an icon. Places API (Legacy) supports the `icon` response field. Don't use `icon` field but instead use `icon_background_color` and `icon_mask_base_uri` with Places API (Legacy).\n\nExample\n-------\n\nThe following examples show how to request an icon URI and background color for\nPlaces API (New) and Places API (Legacy). Notice that the request and responses are different\nfor the two versions of the API. \n\n### Places API (New)\n\nThe following example uses\n[Text Search (New)](/maps/documentation/places/web-service/text-search)\nto return the display name of a place as well as the `iconMaskBaseUri` and\n`iconBackgroundColor` response fields: \n\n```curl\ncurl -X POST -d '{\n \"textQuery\" : \"skog haus\",\n \"maxResultCount\" : 1\n}' \\\n-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Goog-Api-Key: API_KEY' \\\n-H 'X-Goog-FieldMask: places.displayName,places.iconMaskBaseUri,places.iconBackgroundColor' \\\n'https://places.googleapis.com/v1/places:searchText'\n```\n\nThe response is in the form: \n\n```json\n{\n \"places\": [\n {\n \"iconMaskBaseUri\": \"https://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/v2/cafe_pinlet\",\n \"iconBackgroundColor\": \"#FF9E67\",\n \"displayName\": {\n \"text\": \"SKÖG Haus Coffee & Tea\",\n \"languageCode\": \"en\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n### Places API (Legacy)\n\nThe following example shows a\n[Find Place (Legacy)](/maps/documentation/places/web-service/search#FindPlaceRequests) request\nwhich includes the `icon_mask_base_uri` and `icon_background_color`\nfields: \n\n```carbon\n https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=skog%20haus&inputtype=textquery&fields=name,icon_mask_base_uri,icon_background_color&key=\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eAPI_KEY\u003c/var\u003e\n```\n\nThe following example shows how the `icon_mask_base_uri` and\n`icon_background_color` fields appear in a response from a Find Place (Legacy)\nrequest. \n\n### JSON\n\n```json\n {\n \"candidates\" : [\n {\n \"icon_background_color\" : \"#FF9E67\",\n \"icon_mask_base_uri\" : \"https://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/v2/cafe_pinlet\",\n \"name\" : \"SKÖG Haus Coffee\",\n }\n ],\n \"status\" : \"OK\"\n }\n \n```\n\n### XML\n\n```xml\n \u003cFindPlaceFromTextResponse\u003e\n \u003ccandidates\u003e\n \u003cname\u003eSKÖG Haus Coffee\u003c/name\u003e\n \u003cicon_background_color\u003e#FF9E67\u003c/icon_background_color\u003e\n \u003cicon_mask_base_uri\u003ehttps://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/v2/cafe_pinlet\u003c/icon_mask_base_uri\u003e\n \u003c/candidates\u003e\n \u003cstatus\u003eOK\u003c/status\u003e\n \u003c/FindPlaceFromTextResponse\u003e\n \n```\n\nTo display an icon, append the file type extension (.png or .svg) you want to the returned icon\nURI, and combine the icon with the returned background color. For example, to display the .svg icon\non a web page: \n\n```html\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n .icons-food-drink {\n background-color: #ff9e67;\n width: 88px;\n height: 88px;\n padding: 5px;\n }\n\u003c/style\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/v2/cafe_pinlet.svg\" alt=\"Cafe\" class=\"icons-food-drink\"/\u003e\n```\n\nPlace icon and background color requests\n----------------------------------------\n\nThe following tables show all of the available place icons by category. By\ndefault these display with a black glyph. The icon background color\nis dictated by the place's category.\n\n| **Place category: Food and drink** (icon background color #FF9E67) ||||\n|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|----------------------|------------------|\n| Bar, Night club | Cafe | Restaurant, Bakery |\n| Books, Clothing, Electronics, Jewelry, Shoes, Shopping center/Mall | Convenience store | Grocery, Supermarket | Pharmacy |\n| ATM | Bank | Gas | Lodging |\n| Post office |\n| Aquarium, Tourist | Golf | Historic | Movie |\n| Museum | Theater |\n| Airport | Bus, rideshare, taxi | Train/Rail |\n| Cemetery | Civic building | Library | Monument |\n| Parking | School (primary, secondary, university) | Worship (Christian) |\n| Worship (Hindu) | Worship (Islam) | Worship (Jain) | Worship (Jewish) |\n| Worship (Sikh) | Generic business |\n| Boating | Camping | Park | Stadium |\n| Zoo |\n| Hospital | Police |"]]
