And if used more than once, create a Google Billing Account to receive your substantial free API Request allocation.

This is just my second public plugin and all comments are very welcome. It is a sister plugin to Reviews and Rating – Google My Business.

Getting started with Google Places API

In order to retrieve your opening hours from Google My Business, you will need a Google API Key, locate your Place ID and set your billing information. With the Billing details, you’ll receive a substantial free allocation, ample enough to use this feature for free.
