If you are looking for Node.js client libraries for the following APIs, see the Google Maps Platform APIs in the Cloud Client Libraries for Node.js (releases).

• Address Validation API
• Datasets API
• Places API (New)
• Routes API

The new APIs will not be added to this client library.

@wangela, Thank you for this information, but I'm having trouble understanding what to do with the links you listed.

I am interested in using "Places API (New)" via @googlemaps/google-maps-services-js. Are you saying we need a different npm package? If so, what is it called? If not, what should we do? Thank you!

@devuxer You are right. You will need an npm package for Node.js client libraries. Please see the section of Installing the client library

And here is the npm page

Why is this information not pinned in readme top section ?

I'm also wondering why this information about these libraries isn't included somewhere in the docs. Or am I missing something?

It's sometimes confusing trying to find the right libraries.
