Is there any way to get the amount of time "people typically spend" at a place with Google Places API?

Question

I've noticed Google has had this feature for about a year now but I don't see it on Google Places API. If you look up a library or a gym near you, Google will show how long people typically spend at the place (like a gym nearby me, "People typically spend 45 min to 1 hr here.") Is there any way to get this information on Google Places API or is it not available yet?

Answer 1

You are right this information is not available via Places API yet. I can see that people have already filed a feature request for this in the Google issue tracker:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35830308

I would suggest staring the feature request to add your vote and subscribe to further notifications. Hopefully one day Google will implement this feature in the API.
