# GetPlace
<a name="API_GetPlace"></a>

**Important**  
This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend you upgrade to the [V2 `GetPlace`](/location/latest/APIReference/API_geoplaces_GetPlace.html) operation unless you require Grab data.  
This version of `GetPlace` is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Places API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).
Version 2 of the `GetPlace` operation interoperates with the rest of the Places V2 API, while this version does not.
If you are using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, note that the Places API version 2 is found under `geo-places` or `geo_places`, not under `location`.
Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Places API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab.
Start your version 2 API journey with the Places V2 [API Reference](/location/latest/APIReference/API_Operations_Amazon_Location_Service_Places_V2.html) or the [Developer Guide](/location/latest/developerguide/places.html).

Finds a place by its unique ID. A `PlaceId` is returned by other search operations.

**Note**  
A PlaceId is valid only if all of the following are the same in the original search request and the call to `GetPlace`.  
Customer AWS account
 AWS Region
Data provider specified in the place index resource

**Note**  
If your Place index resource is configured with Grab as your geolocation provider and Storage as Intended use, the GetPlace operation is unavailable. For more information, see [AWS service terms](http://aws.amazon.com/service-terms).

## Request Syntax
<a name="API_GetPlace_RequestSyntax"></a>

```
GET /places/v0/indexes/IndexName/places/PlaceId?key=Key&language=Language HTTP/1.1
```

## URI Request Parameters
<a name="API_GetPlace_RequestParameters"></a>

The request uses the following URI parameters.

 ** [IndexName](#API_GetPlace_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="location-GetPlace-request-uri-IndexName"></a>
The name of the place index resource that you want to use for the search.  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.  
Pattern: `[-._\w]+`   
Required: Yes

 ** [Key](#API_GetPlace_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="location-GetPlace-request-uri-Key"></a>
The optional [API key](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/using-apikeys.html) to authorize the request.  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1000.

 ** [Language](#API_GetPlace_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="location-GetPlace-request-uri-Language"></a>
The preferred language used to return results. The value must be a valid [BCP 47](https://tools.ietf.org/search/bcp47) language tag, for example, `en` for English.  
This setting affects the languages used in the results, but not the results themselves. If no language is specified, or not supported for a particular result, the partner automatically chooses a language for the result.  
For an example, we'll use the Greek language. You search for a location around Athens, Greece, with the `language` parameter set to `en`. The `city` in the results will most likely be returned as `Athens`.  
If you set the `language` parameter to `el`, for Greek, then the `city` in the results will more likely be returned as `Αθήνα`.  
If the data provider does not have a value for Greek, the result will be in a language that the provider does support.  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 2. Maximum length of 35.

 ** [PlaceId](#API_GetPlace_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="location-GetPlace-request-uri-PlaceId"></a>
The identifier of the place to find.  
Required: Yes
