Overview of Google Maps (Places API)#

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.

Connect Google Maps (Places API)#

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`,

    })
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
