i searched all the morning how can I retrieve my json data from a google api, but after I saw a lot of questions I still cannot figure out what i've to do. I think I'm confused about this point, so please if you will downvote could you kindly give me at least a comment or something that can really help me ?
Expected behaviour
i expect to console log or to access something like this
[
   {
      "restaurantName":"Bronco",
      "address":"39 Rue des Petites Écuries, 75010 Paris",
      "lat":48.8737815,
      "long":2.3501649,
      "ratings":[
         {
            "stars":4,
            "comment":"Great! But not many veggie options."
         },
         {
            "stars":5,
            "comment":"My favorite restaurant!"
         }
      ]
   },
   {
      "restaurantName":"Babalou",
      "address":"4 Rue Lamarck, 75018 Paris",
      "lat":48.8865035,
      "long":2.3442197,
      "ratings":[
         {
            "stars":5,
            "comment":"Tiny pizzeria next to Sacre Coeur!"
         },
         {
            "stars":3,
            "comment":"Meh, it was fine."
         }
      ]
   }
]
Code
this is my javascript about the gmaps, autocomplete and the input search.
function initAutocomplete() {
        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
          center: {lat: -33.8688, lng: 151.2195},
          zoom: 13,
          mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
        });
        initialize();
        google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'rightclick', function(event) {
        placeMarker(event.latLng);
            console.log(event.latLng);
        });
        function placeMarker(location) {
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: location, 
                map: map
            });
        }
        // Create the search box and link it to the UI element.
        var input = document.getElementById('pac-input');
        var searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);
        // Bias the SearchBox results towards current map's viewport.
        map.addListener('bounds_changed', function() {
          searchBox.setBounds(map.getBounds());
        });
        var markers = [];
        // Listen for the event fired when the user selects a prediction and retrieve    
        // more details for that place.
        searchBox.addListener('places_changed', function() {
            //check if the first sectin is already Up
            if(!sectionShow){
                $(".columnsContainer").fadeIn();
                sectionShow=true;
            }
            //automatic movements of the scroll
            document.querySelector('#map').scrollIntoView({ 
                behavior: 'smooth'         
            });
          var places = searchBox.getPlaces();  
          if (places.length == 0) {
            return;
          }
            review = [];
            //this jquery line delete the previous card if you start another research 
            $(".card-grid").parent().find('.card-wrap').remove();
          // Clear out the old markers.
          markers.forEach(function(marker) {
            marker.setMap(null);
          });
          markers = [];
          // For each place, get the icon, name and location.
          var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
          places.forEach(function(place) {
            //hai aggiunto bounds, ricorda che stai cercando di passare le coordinate posto per posto.
            if (!place.geometry) {
              console.log("Returned place contains no geometry");
              return;
            }

            var photos = place.photos;

            };
              // remember to make an object instead of these variables
              var photo = photos[0].getUrl({'maxWidth': 800, 'maxHeight': 900})
              var title = place.name;
              var rating = place.rating;
              var address = place.formatted_address;
              var idPlace = place.place_id;   
              console.log(idPlace);
              printCard(photo, title, rating, address, idPlace);
              initMap(idPlace, map);            
            if (place.geometry.viewport) {
              // Only geocodes have viewport.
              bounds.union(place.geometry.viewport);
            } else {

     infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;
        // GeoLocation from Here
        if (navigator.geolocation) {

            var pos = {

              lng: position.coords.longitude

            handleLocationError(true, infoWindow, map.getCenter());
          });
        } else {
          // Browser doesn't support Geolocation
          handleLocationError(false, infoWindow, map.getCenter());
        }
}
My Try
I tried to add this lines of codes, but it doesn't work
$.getJSON("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=36.950030,14.537220&radius=500&type=restaurant&key=AIzaSyDWb4mliJPGjwsAhNvdDEveAd0dTe9KXxE&callback=?", function(data){
  console.log("Data: " + data);
});
I have this console log with the answer of @markymark :
Access to XMLHttpRequest at from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource
Questions that helps me

So i read about the CORS in this question
