Google API limits number of places you can scrape info from, is there a way around this?

Google's places API gives you a list of nearby locations in JSON format. However, of the 20, you can only use 5 of them. Is there a way to collect ~30 locations, without just tabbing through pages, as that'd skip a lot of nearby/relevant places? I was thinking maybe someway to just use a lot calls with small radius's, and just move along a grid, only grabbing non-repeating locations, but it seems inefficient. Any ideas on how I could do this? Working with a node.js program btw.
