# Google Maps API for Node.js
A simple way to query the Google Maps API from Node.js
This has become a fairly complete api. Criticism/Suggestions/Patches/PullReq's welcome.
This library implements the following Google Maps APIs, and can be also used by Google Maps for Work users.
# Installation
### Installing npm (node package manager)
* [Maps API Web Services](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/webservices/)
* [Google Places API](https://developers.google.com/places/)
* [Google Maps Image API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/imageapis/)
curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
This library is **NOT COMPATIBLE** with tags < `1.0.0`
### Installing googlemaps
If you want to migrate from a version older than `1.0.0` check the [WIKI](https://github.com/moshen/node-googlemaps/wiki/Migrate-from-v0.1.20-to-v1.0.x) for instructions.
npm install googlemaps
### Installation
# Status
APIs implemented:
```
npm install googlemaps
```
* [Geocoding](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/)
* [Directions](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/directions/)
* [Elevation](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/elevation/)

* [Distance Matrix](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/distancematrix/)
* [Static Maps](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/)
* [Street View](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/streetview/)
### What does it cover
[Maps API Web Services](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/webservices/):
TODO:
* [Directions](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/)
* [Distance matrix](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distancematrix/)
* [Elevation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/elevation/) - TO BE IMPROVED
* [Geocoding and reverse geocoding](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding)
* [Time zone](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/timezone) - NOT IMPLEMENTED YET
* [Tests for everything](http://github.com/moshen/node-googlemaps/tree/master/test/) (using [vows](http://vowsjs.org/))
[Google Places API](https://developers.google.com/places/) - NOT COMPLETED
# Usage
var gm = require('googlemaps');
var util = require('util');
* [Place search](https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/search)
* [Place details](https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details)
gm.reverseGeocode('41.850033,-87.6500523', function(err, data){
util.puts(JSON.stringify(data));
});
[Google Maps Image API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/imageapis/)
gm.reverseGeocode(gm.checkAndConvertPoint([41.850033, -87.6500523]), function(err, data){
util.puts(JSON.stringify(data));
});
* [Static maps](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/)
* [Street view](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/) - TO BE IMPROVED
Both examples print:
{"status":"OK","results":[{"types":["postal_code"],"formatted_address":"Chicago, IL 60695, USA"...
For the Static Maps API, you can pass in all the required parameters as well as markers, styles, and paths using the formats outlined below.
markers = [
{ 'location': '300 W Main St Lock Haven, PA' },
{ 'location': '444 W Main St Lock Haven, PA',
'color': 'red',
'label': 'A',
'shadow': 'false',
'icon' : 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_icon&chld=cafe%7C996600'
}
]
styles = [
{ 'feature': 'road', 'element': 'all', 'rules':
{ 'hue': '0x00ff00' }
}
]
### Usage
paths = [
{ 'color': '0x0000ff', 'weight': '5', 'points':
[ '41.139817,-77.454439', '41.138621,-77.451596' ]
}
]
```javascript
var config = {
key: '<YOUR-KEY>',
google_client_id: '<YOUR-CLIENT-ID>', //optional
stagger_time: 1000, // for elevationPath
encode_polylines: false,
secure: true, // use https
proxy: 'http://127.0.0.1:9999', // optional, set a proxy for HTTP requests
google_private_key: '<YOUR-PRIVATE-KEY>' // to use Google Maps for Work
};
util.puts(gm.staticMap('444 W Main St Lock Haven PA', 15, '500x400', false, false, 'roadmap', markers, styles, paths));
var gmAPI = new GoogleMapsAPI(config);
This example prints the URL for the Static Map image: "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=444%20W%20Main%20St%20Lock%20Haven%20PA&zoom=15&size=500x400&maptype=roadmap&markers=%7C300%20W%20Main%20St%20Lock%20Haven%2C%20PA&markers=%7Ccolor%3Ared%7Clabel%3AA%7Cicon%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fchart.apis.google.com%2Fchart%3Fchst%3Dd_map_pin_icon%26chld%3Dcafe%257C996600%7Cshadow%3Afalse%7C444%20W%20Main%20St%20Lock%20Haven%2C%20PA&style=%7Cfeature%3Aroad%7Celement%3Aall%7Chue%3A0x00ff00&path=weight%3A5%7Ccolor%3A0x0000ff%7C41.139817%2C-77.454439%7C41.138621%2C-77.451596&sensor=false"
// geocode API
var geocodeParams = {
"address": "121, Curtain Road, EC2A 3AD, London UK",
"components": "components=country:GB",
"bounds": "55,-1|54,1",
"language": "en",
"region": "uk"
};
By giving gm.staticMap an optional callback, you can retreive the static map PNG data:
gmAPI.geocode(geocodeParams, function(err, result){
console.log(result);
});
util.puts(gm.staticMap('444 W Main St Lock Haven PA', 15, '500x400', function(err, data){
require('fs').writeFileSync('test_map.png', data, 'binary');
}, false, 'roadmap', markers, styles, paths));
// reverse geocode API
var reverseGeocodeParams = {
"latlng": "51.1245,-0.0523",
"result_type": "postal_code",
"language": "en",
"location_type": "APPROXIMATE"
};
You will get a map like:
gmAPI.reverseGeocode(reverseGeocodeParams, function(err, result){
console.log(result);
});
```

Check out the [unit tests](./tree/new-major-version/test/unit/) for more APIs examples.
# Configuration
### Static Maps
To set the configuration you call `gm.config(key, value)` or `gm.config({key: value, .....})`
```javascript
var gmAPI = new GoogleMapsAPI();
var params = {
center: '444 W Main St Lock Haven PA',
zoom: 15,
size: '500x400',
maptype: 'roadmap',
markers: [
{
location: '300 W Main St Lock Haven, PA',
label : 'A',
color : 'green',
shadow : true
},
{
location: '444 W Main St Lock Haven, PA',
icon: 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_icon&chld=cafe%7C996600'
}
],
style: [
{
feature: 'road',
element: 'all',
rules: {
hue: '0x00ff00'
}
}
],
path: [
{
color: '0x0000ff',
weight: '5',
points: [
'41.139817,-77.454439',
'41.138621,-77.451596'
]
}
]
};
gmAPI.staticMap(params); // return static map URL
gmAPI.staticMap(params, function(err, binaryImage) {
// fetch asynchronously the binary image
});
```
This example prints the URL for the Static Map image: "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=444%20W%20Main%20St%20Lock%20Haven%20PA&zoom=15&size=500x400&maptype=roadmap&markers=color%3Agreen%7Clabel%3AA%7Cshadow%3Atrue%7C300%20W%20Main%20St%20Lock%20Haven%2C%20PA&markers=icon%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fchart.apis.google.com%2Fchart%3Fchst%3Dd_map_pin_icon%26chld%3Dcafe%257C996600%7C444%20W%20Main%20St%20Lock%20Haven%2C%20PA&path=weight%3A5%7Ccolor%3A0x0000ff%7Cenc%3A%7BbbzFfyvwMnFwP&style=feature%3Aroad%7Celement%3Aall%7Chue%3A0x00ff00"
### Useful Configuration Options
By giving gm.staticMap an optional callback, you can retreive the static map PNG data:
`proxy` - set a proxy for http requests
`stagger-time` - defaults to 200ms - stagger async call times when multiple requests are required
You will get a map like:
`encode-polylines` - defaults to true - encodes polylines to the shorter Google format.

`google-client-id` - used for setting business specific parameters
### Street view
`google-private-key`- used for setting business specific parameters
```javascript
var gmAPI = new GoogleMapsAPI();
var params = {
location: '51.507868,-0.087689',
size: '1200x1600',
heading: 108.4,
pitch: 7,
fov: 40
};
var result = gmAPI.streetView(params);
```
-------------
![London - Tower Bridge from London Bridge](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?location=51.507868,-0.087689&size=1200x1600&heading=108.4&fov=40&pitch=7)
All the googlemaps functions follow this scheme:
function(required, callback, optional)
### Further examples
All callbacks are expected to follow:
function(error, results)
Where the error returned is an Error object.
Please refer to the code, [tests](http://github.com/moshen/node-googlemaps/tree/master/test/) and the [Google Maps API docs](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/webservices/index.html) for further usage information.
