Setup

Before using the Google Maps Platform Activities Package, you need to configure your applications using the Google Cloud Platform.

There are two configuration steps:

1. Enable APIs - this step enables automation by granting API access to your Google applications.
2. Create credentials - this specifies the authentication type used to interact with your enabled APIs.

Enable APIs:

Follow the steps listed below to enable your APIs.

1. Sign in to the Google Cloud Platform using your personal, work, or school Google G Suite account.

2. In the top menu bar, after Google Cloud Platform, select the project you want to use for your automation project.

   • If you don't have a project, create one by following the Creating and Managing Projects instructions in the Google Cloud documentation.

     
     

     

     
     
3. Open the Navigation menu in the top navigation bar

4. Hover over APIs & Services (showing a menu of options) and select Library (opening the API Library).

6. Click on Places API

Create Credentials:

Follow the steps listed below to create credentials for your project.

1. From your project APIs & Services page (Google Cloud Platform> Project > APIs & Services), click Credentials in the left-hand navigation panel.
