Maps Datasets API client libraries

  • This page provides instructions on getting started with the Maps Datasets API client libraries for Node.js and Python.

  • You'll learn how to install the necessary client libraries using npm or pip.

  • Authentication is handled using Application Default Credentials (ADC), and the page links to resources for setting up ADC.

  • Code samples demonstrate basic usage of the client libraries, such as creating a dataset, for both Node.js and Python.

  • Links to additional resources like source code, issue trackers, and Stack Overflow are provided for further assistance.

This page shows how to get started with the client libraries for Maps Datasets API.

Read more about the client libraries in Client Libraries Explained.

Install the client library

Node.js

For more information, see Setting Up a Node.js Development Environment.

npm install @googlemaps/maps-platform-datasets

Python

For more information, see Setting Up a Python Development Environment.

pip install --upgrade google-maps-mapsplatformdatasets

Set up authentication

When you use client libraries, you use Application Default Credentials (ADC) to authenticate. For information about setting up ADC, see Provide credentials for Application Default Credentials. For information about using ADC with client libraries, see Authenticate using client libraries.

Use the client library

Node.js

/**
 *  Required. Parent project that will own the dataset.

/**
 *  Required. The dataset version to create.
 */
// const dataset = {}

// Imports the Mapsplatformdatasets library
const {MapsPlatformDatasetsClient} = require('@googlemaps/maps-platform-datasets').v1;

// Instantiates a client
const mapsplatformdatasetsClient = new MapsPlatformDatasetsClient();

  // Run request
  const response = await mapsplatformdatasetsClient.createDataset(request);

    # Initialize request argument(s)
    request = mapsplatformdatasets_v1.CreateDatasetRequest(
        parent="parent_value",
    )

    # Make the request
    response = client.create_dataset(request=request)

    # Handle the response
    print(response)
