with Google Maps (Places API) and Data Stores?
Retrieves detailed information for a specific place using its Place ID. See the documentation
Add or update a single record in your Pipedream Data Store
Searches for places based on location, radius, and optional filters like keywords, place type, or name. See the documentation
Add or update multiple records to your Pipedream Data Store
Append to a record in your data store Pipedream Data Store. If the record does not exist, a new record will be created in an array format.
The Google Maps (Places API) offers detailed information about physical locations, including places of interest, reviews, and other metadata. In Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create dynamic workflows that respond to location data. Whether you're building apps that track asset locations, automate location-based alerts, or provide users with local info, integrating with Google Maps can add a powerful spatial context to your services.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_maps_platform: {
type: "app",
app: "google_maps_platform",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json`,
params: {
key: `${this.google_maps_platform.$auth.api_key}`,
input: `Museum of Contemporary Art Australia`,
inputtype: `textquery`,
},
})
},
})
Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.
export default defineComponent({
props: {
myDataStore: {
type: "data_store",
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
},
})
