Getting businesses with the Google Maps API?

Question

This is an example of Business on Google Maps

It has elements such as:

• Reviews from different sites (qype, viewlondon, etc.)

• Details provided by various sites

• Photos and others .

I don’t know how to continue searching for such a Business and link all the elements created on my website.

What I have updated so far is a system that uses geocoding ( geography ), which returns Latitude and Longitude after a given address , but such a system does not help me with this dilemma.

Answer 1

What you want is an API: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/local.html

Answer 2

By writing a relay server script, you can do something like this , which receives most of this information with a different layout. I do not know if it is legal to do so.
