title: How to get the cid in the Google Place URL?
body: <p>I want to send a request to the google places (not google place API), I don't need to get the data in XML or JSON, i just want to get the place page and display it to the user. </p>
  
  <p>This url works for me <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=2124238351431937390" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=2124238351431937390</a> but I was wondering how to get this "cid", this seems to a unique id for a business. I went to get a sample response from the google place api but didnt find this cid for the same business as any of the response fields.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how can I get this "cid"?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
