Python client library for Google Maps API Web Services

Overview

Python Client for Google Maps Services

Build Status codecov PyPI version PyPI - Downloads GitHub contributors

Description

Use Python? Want to geocode something? Looking for directions? Maybe matrices of directions? This library brings the Google Maps Platform Web Services to your Python application.

The Python Client for Google Maps Services is a Python Client library for the following Google Maps APIs:

  • Directions API
  • Distance Matrix API
  • Elevation API
  • Geocoding API
  • Geolocation API
  • Time Zone API
  • Roads API
  • Places API
  • Maps Static API

Keep in mind that the same terms and conditions apply to usage of the APIs when they're accessed through this library.

Support

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 and protected 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. If you'd like to contribute, please read contribute.

Requirements

  • Python 3.5 or later.
  • A Google Maps API key.

API Keys

Each Google Maps Web Service request requires an API key or client ID. API keys are generated in the 'Credentials' page of the 'APIs & Services' tab of Google Cloud console.

For even more information on getting started with Google Maps Platform and generating/restricting an API key, see Get Started with Google Maps Platform in our docs.

Important: This key should be kept secret on your server.

Installation

$ pip install -U googlemaps

Note that you will need requests 2.4.0 or higher if you want to specify connect/read timeouts.

Usage

This example uses the Geocoding API and the Directions API with an API key:

import googlemaps
from datetime import datetime

gmaps = googlemaps.Client(key='Add Your Key here')

# Geocoding an address
geocode_result = gmaps.geocode('1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA')

# Look up an address with reverse geocoding
reverse_geocode_result = gmaps.reverse_geocode((40.714224, -73.961452))

# Request directions via public transit
now = datetime.now()
directions_result = gmaps.directions("Sydney Town Hall",
                                     "Parramatta, NSW",
                                     mode="transit",
                                     departure_time=now)

For more usage examples, check out the tests.

Features

Retry on Failure

Automatically retry when intermittent failures occur. That is, when any of the retriable 5xx errors are returned from the API.

  • get current location with geolocate

    get current location with geolocate

    Hi, I want to get the current location based on this link but I can't find any python example to do that. I want to create a general code to get the current location. I used this part of code but it didn't work.

    import googlemaps
    gmaps = googlemaps.Client(key='my_key')
    loc = gmaps.geolocate()
    print(loc)
    

    Thanks.

  • Traffic model bug?

    Traffic model bug? "optimistic" slower than "best-guess"

    Hello, I found that traffic_model="optimistic" sometimes takes longer than traffic_model="best guess". I don't know if this is because of the library or because of Google Maps, but I thought I'd ask, because it makes me question the results using "optimistic" more generally. That is, maybe the results using "optimistic" are not reliable in general.

    The graph plots the travel time using the three traffic_model options, for all departure times on a particular day (in the future). Note how during the night the "optimisitic" is slower than the other two. image

    Also, here is code that generates this for a particular leaving time.

    Code output:

    ['Travel time from: 12.979572,80.25271 to 12.921726,80.230478']
    ['Departure time (local): 16 Dec 2015 03:42:02']
    ['Time, no traffic, minutes: 12.566666666666666']
    ['Time in traffic, minutes: 9.45']
    ['Time in traffic (optimistic), minutes: 10.45']
    

    Code:

    __author__ = 'Gabriel Kreindler, [email protected]'
    
    '''
    This code shows that the traffic_model option sometimes generates counter-intuitive results.
    The option traffic_model="optimistic" sometimes generates longer travel times compared to "best_guess" or "pessimistic".

  • How to prefix via: to waypoints for directions API?

    How to prefix via: to waypoints for directions API?

    I read the following doc

    The duration in traffic is returned only if all of the following are true:
    
    1. The request includes a valid API key, or a valid Google Maps APIs Premium Plan client ID and signature.
    2. The request does not include stopover waypoints. If the request includes waypoints, they must be prefixed with via: to avoid stopovers.
    3. The request is specifically for driving directions—the mode parameter is set to driving.
    4. The request includes a departure_time parameter.
    5. Traffic conditions are available for the requested route.
    

    For condition 2, how do I prefix via: to the waypoints. I have a list of coordinates.

  • Road snap some points not returned

    Road snap some points not returned

    Some of the paths that I send to the road snap API do not come back as I would expect.

    If for instance I pass in X number of coordinate pairs (interpolate is on, btw), and I receive Y pairs back, where Y > X, I may not receive all of my originalIndex pairs back.

    So, I may have on the return: [{originalIndex: 0}, new_0, new_1, new_2, {originalIndex: 3}, ...]

    What does this behavior mean? And what should I do with the pair(s) that are not returned from the API?

    out of daily quota requests must not be retried, they must be immediately failed instead

    The library keeps retrying requests that are rejected by the REST API with the following. I think this is not correct behavior. It masks what exactly is happening from the the python API developer and it does not matter how long you retry it will keep failing until the next day.

    {u'status': u'OVER_QUERY_LIMIT', u'rows': [], u'error_message': u'You have exceeded your daily request quota for this API.', u'destination_addresses': [], u'origin_addresses': []}

  • Set base_url default value inside _request() instead of in signature

    Set base_url default value inside _request() instead of in signature

    If an end-user of the library wants to override _DEFAULT_BASE_URL (e.g. in order to use a proxy), this makes it easier. The user can simply run

    googlemaps.client._DEFAULT_BASE_URL = 'http://my_proxy_dns'
    

    in their server/script's startup code.

    Without this change, the default value for the parameter gets "baked" into the function definition and is harder to change.

    (Obviously a module's internal implementation details are subject to change, and this PR doesn't construe a guarantee that overriding _DEFAULT_BASE_URL will continue to work in the future).

    Google Maps API Find Place requests now support a location restriction parameter which limit results to a specified area. This is unlike the location bias parameter which prefers results in a specified area. The location restriction parameter can be set by specifying either a radius plus lat/lng, or two lat/lng pairs representing the points of a rectangle.
