Is it possible to get the "Popular times" information through the Google Places API or any other API? I need this information to be displayed in my application for a particular place.

About visit data To determine popular times, wait times, and visit duration, Google uses aggregated and anonymized data from users who have opted in to Google Location History. Popular times, wait times, and visit duration are shown for your business if it gets enough visits from these users.
Google then uses the survey data to improve live busyness accuracy. If very few people allow Google to access their location data in real-time, live Popular Times can sometimes be inaccurate. When a business is near other companies, live Popular Times can be even more inaccurate.
Google Maps traffic information is available via the Distance Matrix API, and to access it, the only thing you need to do is to get a developer key from Google. You can call the service up to 2,500 times in a 24-hour period for free, which should be fine for most advertisers.
