Google Geocoding Rest API
A rest API flow that wraps the Google Geocoding API.
This flow makes use of the Google Web Nodes (https://github.com/node-red/node-red-web-nodes/tree/master/google)
Prerequisites
First, you will need to install the Google Web Nodes.
npm install node-red-node-googleFor quota management, you may also use a Google developer API key (https://code.google.com/apis/console/)
This flow also contains additional swagger documentation. This is to be used with the Node Red Swagger Plugin (https://github.com/node-red/node-red-node-swagger)
npm install node-red-node-swagger
Usage
The flow will create an HTTP endpoint for both types of Google Geocoding requests. You can make changes to the Google Geocoding node's configuration if you would like to include any information ahead of time, like API key for instance. All properties taken by the Google Geocoding node can be passed as msg level parameters. The Google Geocoding node is heavily documented, and details about possible parameters can be acquired via the info tab. All errors that occur will be relayed back to the user via the catch node.
