# maxResultCount on POST /v1/places:searchText is deprecated

Google Places API (New) deprecated POST /v1/places:searchText, body parameter maxResultCount without giving a shutdown date yet.

Google Places API (New) deprecated the body parameter maxResultCount on POST /v1/places:searchText as of May 13, 2024, without announcing a shutdown date. The provider made this change to better meet developer needs. Calls that continue to rely on this parameter will eventually fail once it is fully removed.
