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`,
        inputtype: `textquery`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Filter#

The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.

Connect Filter#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    let condition = false
    if (condition == false) {
      $.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
    } else {
        $.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
    }
  },
})
