porting google-maps-services-js
The Common Lisp Client for Google Maps Services is a Common Lisp Client library for the following Google Maps APIs:
- WIP Directions API
- WIP Distance Matrix API
- WIP Elevation API
- WIP Geocoding API
- WIP Places API
- WIP Roads API
- WIP Time Zone API
Keep in mind that the same terms and conditions apply to usage of the APIs when they're accessed through this library.
$ ros install libgirlenterprise/google-maps-services-cl
(ql:quickload :google-maps-services)
(setf google-maps-services/lib/index::*options* '(:key "your API key here"))Make requests to the Google Maps APIs by calling methods on the client object.
;; Geocode an address.
(getf (getf (google-maps-services:geocode '(:address "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA")) :json) :|results|)View the reference documentation
Additional documentation for the included web services is available at https://developers.google.com/maps/.
Each Google Maps Web Service request requires an API key or client ID. API keys are freely available with a Google Account at https://developers.google.com/console. The type of API key you need is a Server key.
To get an API key:
- Visit https://developers.google.com/console and log in with a Google Account.
- Select one of your existing projects, or create a new project.
- Enable the API(s) you want to use. The Node.js Client for Google Maps Services
accesses the following APIs:
- Directions API
- Distance Matrix API
- Elevation API
- Geocoding API
- Places API
- Roads API
- Time Zone API
- Create a new Server key.
- If you'd like to restrict requests to a specific IP address, do so now.
For guided help, follow the instructions for the Directions API. You only need one API key, but remember to enable all the APIs you need. For even more information, see the guide to API keys.
When you have an API key, you can create a client object:
(ql:quickload :google-maps-services)
(setf google-maps-services/lib/index::*options* '(:key "your API key here"))Google Maps APIs Premium Plan customers can use their client ID and secret to authenticate, instead of an API key.
not yet supported.
Important: This key should be kept secret on your server.
In order to run the end-to-end tests, you'll need to supply your API key via an environment variable.
$ export GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=AIza-your-api-key
This library is community supported. We're comfortable enough with the stability and features of the library that we want you to build real production applications on it. We will try to support, through Stack Overflow, the public surface of the library and maintain backwards compatibility in the future; however, while the library is in version 0.x, we reserve the right to make backwards-incompatible changes. If we do remove some functionality (typically because better functionality exists or if the feature proved infeasible), our intention is to deprecate and give developers a year to update their code.
If you find a bug, or have a feature suggestion, please [log an issue][issues]. If you'd like to contribute, please read [How to Contribute][contrib].
