How to search multiple locations by one query in google places api
I want to get some specific places using google places search api next to search. What is the format for requesting multiple locations with the NAME parameter. The api shows the following for one location:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=harbour&sensor=false&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere
I read in the documentation that you can specify multiple types by adding |.

If you want to use multiple types for searches, use the bitwise OR operator. See the last line of the append where I used 3 different types. Here's an example
private String getUrl(){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?");
if(mLastLocation != null){
sb.append("location=" + mLastLocation.getLatitude() + "," + mLastLocation.getLongitude());
}
sb.append("&radius=" + searchWithin);
sb.append("&sensor=true");
sb.append("&key=" + getString(R.string.map_api_key));
sb.append("&types=" + "restaurant|atm|bank");
return sb.toString();
}

You must specify different names in the "name" field of your query variable. Separate Them | and is surrounded by quotes.
var request = {
location: new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8665433,151.1956316),
radius: '500',
name: "name1|name2|name3",
types: ['store']
};
service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
service.nearbySearch(request, callback);
