Places Aggregate API client library examples

This page has examples of how to use the Places Aggregate API client libraries.

Install the client libraries

See Places Aggregate API client libraries for installation instructions.

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 .

You can also use API keys to authenticate to the client libraries, for example:

Java

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import com.google.api.gax.core.NoCredentialsProvider;
import com.google.api.gax.rpc.FixedHeaderProvider;
import com.google.api.gax.rpc.HeaderProvider;
import com.google.maps.areainsights.v1.AreaInsightsClient;
import com.google.maps.areainsights.v1.AreaInsightsSettings;
// ...
String apiKey = "API_KEY";
// Create a HeaderProvider to inject the API key into every request.
Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<>();
headers.put("x-goog-api-key", apiKey);
HeaderProvider headerProvider = FixedHeaderProvider.create(headers);
// Configure the client settings.
AreaInsightsSettings areaInsightsSettings =
    AreaInsightsSettings.newBuilder()
        // Use the header provider to add the API key.
        .setHeaderProvider(headerProvider)
        // Tell the client not to use Application Default Credentials.
        .setCredentialsProvider(NoCredentialsProvider.create())
        .build();
// Create the client using these custom settings.
try (AreaInsightsClient areaInsightsClient = AreaInsightsClient.create(areaInsightsSettings)) {
  // ...
}

Go

areainsightspb "cloud.google.com/go/maps/areainsights/apiv1/areainsightspb"
"google.golang.org/api/option" // Import the option package when using an API key
"google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/type/latlng"
...
// Initialize the client, passing the API key
clientOpts := []option.ClientOption{option.WithAPIKey("API_KEY")}
c, err := areainsights.NewClient(ctx, clientOpts...)

NodeJS

// Instantiates the Places client, passing the API key
const areaInsightsClient = new AreaInsightsClient({
  apiKey: "API_KEY",
});

Python

  client = areainsights_v1.AreaInsightsAsyncClient(
    # Instantiates the insights client, passing the API key
    client_options={"api_key": "API_KEY"}
  )

.NET

using Google.Maps.AreaInsights.V1;
using Google.Api.Gax.Grpc;
using Grpc.Core;
// ...
var apiHeader = CallSettings.FromHeader("X-Goog-Api-Key", "API_KEY");
var defaultSettings = AreaInsightsSettings.GetDefault();
var settings = new AreaInsightsSettings
{
    // Merge the API key header into the settings for the ComputeInsights method.
    ComputeInsightsSettings = defaultSettings.ComputeInsightsSettings.MergedWith(apiHeader)
};
// Create a client builder with the custom settings.
AreaInsightsClientBuilder builder = new AreaInsightsClientBuilder
{
    Settings = settings,
    // Use SslCredentials to create a secure channel for API key authentication.
    ChannelCredentials = new SslCredentials()
};
// Build the client from the builder.
AreaInsightsClient areaInsightsClient = await builder.BuildAsync();

When you use API keys in your applications, make sure that they are kept secure during both storage and transmission. Publicly exposing your API keys can lead to unexpected charges on your account.

The examples on this page use Application Default Credentials.

Compute insights

The following is an example of how to call compute insights using the client library.

Java

import com.google.api.core.ApiFuture;
import com.google.maps.areainsights.v1.AreaInsightsClient;
import com.google.maps.areainsights.v1.ComputeInsightsRequest;

import com.google.maps.areainsights.v1.RatingFilter;
import com.google.maps.areainsights.v1.TypeFilter;
import com.google.type.LatLng;
// ...
public static void callComputeInsights() throws Exception {
  // Use try-with-resources to automatically close the client.
  try (AreaInsightsClient areaInsightsClient = AreaInsightsClient.create()) {
    // Build the request.
    ComputeInsightsRequest request =
        ComputeInsightsRequest.newBuilder()
            .addInsights(Insight.INSIGHT_COUNT)
            .setFilter(
                Filter.newBuilder()
                    .setLocationFilter(
                        LocationFilter.newBuilder()

                                        LatLng.newBuilder()
                                            .setLatitude(37.7749)
                                            .setLongitude(-122.4194)
                                            .build())
                                    .setRadius(2000)
                                    .build()))
                    .setTypeFilter(TypeFilter.newBuilder().addIncludedTypes("restaurant").build())
                    .addOperatingStatus(OperatingStatus.OPERATING_STATUS_OPERATIONAL)
                    .setRatingFilter(RatingFilter.newBuilder().setMinRating(4.2f).build())
                    .build())
            .build();
    // Make the API call.
    ApiFuture futureResponse =
        areaInsightsClient.computeInsightsCallable().futureCall(request);
    ComputeInsightsResponse response = futureResponse.get();
    System.out.println(response);
