Getting the ID from Google Maps specific location (NodeJS/ExpressJs)

Hello guys, I need to POST a json object, look, this is the link that I have on my hackst example but I am having a very hard time trying to get done with the task because I do not know how to pull the id of the google maps input, according to the instruction of my Client, that id must be an string.

Look at the code here, see this part "&place=" + req.body.events.where -- there is where I need to pull the id of the maps and post it.

var eventsUrl = "http://diditserver.webfactional.com/idid2/event";

var sendEvent = function(req, res) {
    var args = {
      headers:{"Content-Type": "application/json"}
    };
    var url = eventsUrl + "?name="+ req.body.events.eventName +"&banner="+ null +"&website="+ null +"&schedule="+ null +"&event_type="+ null +"&event_status=" + null +"&place="+ req.body.events.where +"&keyword="+ null +"&description=" + req.body.events.information;
    client.post(url, args, function(data, response) {
        var response = JSON.parse(data);
        res.render("events", {success: response.success});
    });
};
