Google API for Restaurants Places

I am having problems understanding the Google Places API. I am building an iPhone application with a nearby feature that allows the user to find restaurants located around the user's GPS. How can I obtain a Google API for this? Do I have to have one custom made how does this work? If I also wanted to create an API for points of interest how can I do that?

There is a Google Places API for searching for nearby locations. The documentation is here: https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/search#PlaceSearchRequests

But I'm guessing you already found that. If you ask more specific questions, we can be more helpful.
