Greetings,
Please can you identify if there is a missing data problem in Google Places API or not? Because as seen in the example below, the Place additional info like Mobile, Alternate Phone, Fax Phone, are shown in the Google Map search results, but not through the Google Places API!
Following this link, you could notice the added alternate phone number, mobile, etc:

{

"result" : {
"address_components" : [
{
"long_name" : "Aley",
"short_name" : "Aley",

],

"website" : "http://lb.linkedin.com/in/hkamaleddine"
},
"status" : "OK"
}
As you can see, the mobile, alternate, and fax numbers are missing!
How to solve this issue please?
Much Thanks.
