Research direction

Start by reviewing the Google Places API documentation and the linked Google Business API FoodMenus reference, comparing access by placeID with access by accountID. Done means establishing whether public restaurant menus are available through an API this client supports; the issue mentions no repository file or test to run.

Description

priority: p3 type: question

I have a list of resturants on google with their placeID.

I'm tryna figure out how to fetch their menus using google API or any other method, but so far, I can't find any.

It is possible to do it via the google business api, but you'd need to be the owner of the business (using the accountID) to be able to use the API (& its menu)

But I think there has to be some other way to fetch any restaurants menu (if they are on their google business profile) just by using their placeId. Because we can almost access every information about a google business's public data using the places API.
