Harness the power of the Google Maps API and its node.js libary to collect information for geographical locations within a city.

Installation

This module is distributed via [npm][npm] and should be installed as one of your project's dependencies:

npm install --save google-places-collector

Usage

Get an API Key from google gain permissions to places data. You can either define a property in a seperates .env file under GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY or replace the 'YOUR_KEY_HERE' string in the index.js file.

const googlePlacesCollector = require('./index');

const getPlaces = async () => {
  const results = await places.getPlacesByType('Business Bay', 'restaurant');
  console.log(results);
};

getPlaces();

Results will be supplied by an async function with an array of place objects (in this case, a listing of all restraunts within Dubai's Business Bay area).
