C# - Geocode pharmacy by name and location

Question

How can I find the coordinates of a pharmacy by it name and location?

I'm trying to search with the Google geocode API like this:

var pharmacyName = "Farmácia Ereirense";
var address = "Cartaxo, Santarém";

var url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=" + pharmacyName + ", " + address + "&sensor=false";

but I only got ZERO_RESULTS on the GeoResponse Status, and if I google "Farmácia Ereirense, Cartaxo, Santarém" it found the right location...

I already tried to do:

var pharmacyName = "Farmácia Ereirense";
var address = "Cartaxo, Santarém";

var url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/xml?name=" + pharmacyName + ", " + address + "&key=" + apiKey;

but I got the INVALID_REQUEST result.

Documentation I based on

Answer 1

Finally I found the solution! We can do a Text Search request like this:

var pharmacyName = "Farmácia Ereirense";
var address = "Cartaxo, Santarém";

var url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=" + pharmacyName + ", " + address + "&key=" + apiKey;

And it works just fine, like Google's search.
