Google Maps Geocoder provider

This is the Google Maps provider from the PHP Geocoder. This is a READ ONLY repository. See the main repo for information and documentation.

Usage

$httpClient = new \Http\Discovery\Psr18Client();

// You must provide an API key
$provider = new \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps($httpClient, null, 'your-api-key');

$result = $geocoder->geocodeQuery(GeocodeQuery::create('Buckingham Palace, London'));

All requests require a valid API key, however google does have a free tier available. Please see this page for information on getting an API key.

Google Maps for Business

Previously, google offered a "Business" version of their APIs. The service has been deprecated, however existing clients can use the static business method on the provider to create a client:

$httpClient = new \Http\Discovery\Psr18Client();

// Client ID is required. Private key is optional.
$provider = \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps::business($httpClient, 'your-client-id', 'your-private-key');

$result = $geocoder->geocodeQuery(GeocodeQuery::create('Buckingham Palace, London'));

Install

composer require geocoder-php/google-maps-provider
