IntendedUse

Note

If you store results, the higher storage pricing tier applies. Use the request parameter IntendedUse to specify whether the results are for single use or storage. For more information about costs associated with stored results, see Places pricing.

When you call a place API, specify IntendedUse by setting the value to be either SingleUse or Storage, based on the intended use of the results. If you are going to store the results (even for caching purposes), you must choose the storage option, not the single use option.
