Places API are needed for Business Management APIs
- In order to build API for creating a business, first we need to build API for getting necessary details for a location.
- When a business guide or admin is trying to add a business, upon selecting a location on a map, App should get all the details of the location.
- Today, we worked on building such API & named it
places
Google Maps Platform
- At first it was not clear, which API to use from Google platform
- After trying couple of things here & there, we concluded that we will be needing nearby search
- Nearby search will provide us, nearby search results.
- A business guide will tap on "Add a business".
- Map will zoom to current location.
- This API will help us locate nearby businesses to the location of a business guide
Writing API for places
- Only A Super Admin / Admin / Trusted Guide can use this API
- Upon supplying latitude & longitude of a user, this API will return google places which are near to that location.
What all details are we getting from Places API?
- We are supplying all following info back to the user.
- Following information will help user to prefill the form for adding a business.
- displayName,
- formattedAddress,
- addressComponents,
- encoded-photos (we don't have direct photos)
- primaryType
- primaryTypeDisplayName,
- currentOpeningHours,
- internationalPhoneNumber
- websiteUri
Converting address components to needed fields
- At first google naming convention, I found it confusing.
- After doing search, I found above code-snippet which helps me understand it.
- With this logic, we have
street,city,state&zipcode
Postman API example
- Above screenshots indicate that upon supplying latitude & longitude in request, we get nearby places
- API that we've built is deployed & working in production.
- It is tested & working as expected.
What's next?
- Now, we'll switch to front-end
- Integrate Above API
- And start building UX for adding a business
- Wish us all the luck
