Setting searching scope problem _ google map api

biecheli

I'm using unfolding library for processing to retrieve some lodging infos from google map. I made the program search and display the data in 20km of the specific spot on the map. But it has some problem. I extended the restrict area widely but the app can't get the results over 20. It load the google map api JSON by URL. I learn that the search scope is bounded by the radius value of URL. Is there any limitation to get the number of results from the google map? The another problem is that the app sometime can't display the background google map image. I guess that it might be related to the google api key or changed WI-FI environment.

url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=37.705160,127.447744&radius=20000&type=lodging&key=MYKEY";

the code is below

        UnfoldingMap map;
        DebugDisplay debugDisplay;
        SimplePointMarker studio527;

        String url;
        JSONObject json;
        JSONArray resultData;
        ArrayList<Result> infos;
        PFont font;

        // the coordination of 527 Studio
        float loc_lati = 37.705160;
        float loc_longi = 127.447744;


        void setup() {
                size(800, 600);
                background(255);
                Location artLocation = new Location(37.705160 , 127.447744); // the spot
                studio527 = new SimplePointMarker(artLocation);

                map = new UnfoldingMap(this, new Google.GoogleMapProvider()); // map style
                MapUtils.createDefaultEventDispatcher(this, map);
                map.zoomAndPanTo(artLocation, 17); // How much closer to the spot
                float maxPanningDistance = 20; // in km
                map.setPanningRestriction(artLocation, maxPanningDistance);

                //Create debug display 
                //debugDisplay = new DebugDisplay(this, map);

                //load JSON
                url = "https://" + "maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=37.705160,127.447744&radius=2000&type=lodging&key=MYKEY"; // distance unit meter
                json = loadJSONObject(url);
                resultData = json.getJSONArray("results");
                println(" the number of hotel : " + resultData.size());

                infos = new ArrayList<Result>();

                for(int i=0; i<resultData.size(); i++){
                  JSONObject result = resultData.getJSONObject(i);

Good tip! koogs thanks

I'm not sure. @kfrajer or @tnagel might have some idea....

Can you include the imports in your running code? Is DebugDisplay part of unfolding?

Also, can you provide a link to the API reference that you are using?
