ExGoogle

Google Cloud SDK for Elixir

This is a work in progress. Currently, it supports google places and maps API.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

Add ex_google to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:ex_google, "~> 0.1.1"}]
end

Or from github (recommended for now):

def deps do
  [{:ex_google, github: "techgaun/ex_google"}]
end

Ensure ex_google is started before your application:

def application do
  [applications: [:ex_google]]
end

Configuration

Configure ex_google using the appropriate api key and output format. Currently, only json output is supported. Other formats parser are more than welcome.
Now, you can use the places and maps api.

config :ex_google, api_key: System.get_env("GOOGLE_API_KEY"),
                   output: "json"

Usage

You can import and use the google places and maps api as below. Also, note that you can pass any query parameter that google apis support.

Google Maps

alias ExGoogle.Maps.Api, as: Maps
# google maps reverse geocoding
Maps.search(%{latlng: "40.714224,-73.961452"})

# google maps geocoding
Maps.search(%{address: "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA"})

# Advanced parameters
Maps.search(%{latlng: "40.714224,-73.961452", location_type: "ROOFTOP|RANGE_INTERPOLATED|GEOMETRIC_CENTER", result_type: "street_address"})
