title: Google API test in postman
body: <p>I am beginning to use API's so I'm using Google Maps API.
  Through postman I'm trying to get find a place from text so I went through the documentation and saw it is obligatory to use two parameters: input and input type.</p>
  <p>I am writing this line with the two mentioned parameters, that according to the documentation should be enough to get a result.</p>
  <p><code>https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=Amphitheatre&amp;inputtype=&lt;string&gt;&amp;key=MYKEY</code></p>
  <p>However I am getting this error, could someone advice me what I am doing wrong? I also tried writing in the parameter <code>input type</code>the option <code>textquery</code>like it's shown in the documentation, but still the same error.</p>
  <pre><code>{
      &quot;candidates&quot;: [],
      &quot;status&quot;: &quot;INVALID_REQUEST&quot;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>I am writing something wrong or missing some detail?
  Thanks for your opinion.</p>
  <p><em><strong>UPDATE</strong></em></p>
  <p>Thank you everyone for your input, as some people commented here my error was to use the <code>inputtype=&lt;string&gt;</code>I changed to <code>inputtype=textquery</code>without the <code>&lt;&gt;</code>simbols and it is working!
  Thank you all.</p>
