Google maps api geocoder - restrict to multiple countries

Question

Im using google geocoder and I want to restrict result to some countries (for example I don't want to search in USA).

Using:

componentRestrictions: {
                  country: 'de'
}

Works fine, but I would like to add more countries, tried passing array:

componentRestrictions: {
                  country: ['de','at','ch']
              }

But it gives an error

Is there anyway to add more than one country to restrictions?

Thanks

Please provide error traceback. – Subjunctive

I'm currently looking for an answer to this too. For now, it appears that the Geocoding API doesn't accept an array of countries like the places.Autocomplete does. developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/… – Carve

Sorry to revive an old question, but if anyone stumbles across this, using the python library, I needed to add components=country:DE to the request url. Did it like this: googlemaps.Client(key='my_key', requests_kwargs={'params': {'components': ['country:DE']}} Hope this helps someone! – Ketch
