Nearby and Text Search Zero Results - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to get via Python the plain text result from the gmaps / places API. There is a Google Python Libary but wanted to use the real API via a normel requests or urllib call.
import requests
import json
import urllib3
#tried:
sUrl1 = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=kindergarten&location=50.73464,12.52528&radius=50000&fields=formatted_address,name&key=[myapikey]'
sUrl2 = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=kindergarten&location=50.73464'+ r',' + '12.52528&radius=50000&fields=formatted_address'+ r',' + 'name&key=[myapikey]'
sUrl3 = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=kindergarten&location=50.73464'+ r',' + '12.52528&radius=50000&fields=formatted_address'+ r',' + 'name&key=[myapikey]&verify=false'
sUrl4 = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=kindergarten&location=50.73464;12.52528&radius=50000&fields=formatted_address;name&key=[myapikey]'
print (requests.get(sUrl1).text)
print (requests.get(sUrl2).text)
print (requests.get(sUrl3).text)
print (requests.get(sUrl4).text)
Did the same for urllib3, and tried to give it as params but always get this:
{
"html_attributions" : [],
"results" : [],
"status" : "ZERO_RESULTS"
}
When i click on the links (print (sUrl1 or sUrl2 or sUrl3 or sUrl4) ) - I get a wonderful result.
In my API Key there is a "-" but if this is the problem?
Do i need some more headers?
What is the problem?
Can you help?
Thanks

If you add headers it works!
Code for Textsearch - works fine - needed to add headers
headers = {'Accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
'Accept-Language': 'de,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3',
'Connection': 'keep-alive' ,
'Host': 'maps.googleapis.com',
'Referer': 'maps.googleapis.com',
'TE': 'Trailers',
'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests': '1'
}
urlparams = {
u'query': u'xxx Berlin XXX',
u'location': str(lat)+","+str(long),
u'radius': u'10',
u'fields': u'place_id',
u'key': u'[mySecretKey]'
}
response = requests.get('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json', params=urlparams,headers=headers)
myjson = json.loads(response.text)
print (myjson)
place_id = myjson['results'][0]['place_id']
