Living Lab Maps API

The Dowell Living Lab Maps API is like a smart tool for finding and working with places on maps. It helps you do different things with locations, like making sure a place exists, getting more info about it, saving its details, or finding other nearby places. It’s handy for exploring and managing locations on maps easily.

Key Features

magnifying-glass

Verify Places Ids

This endpoint helps you check if certain place IDs are already in a database or not. It's like a detective for data! Its job is to stop the same information from being repeated. So, if you have some place IDs and you want to know if they're already in the database, this tool will tell you which ones are new and not already stored. This way, you can save only the new ones without copying stuff that's already there.

location (1)

Get Place Details

After making sure the IDs for places are correct, you can send them to this endpoint to Google to get information about those places. The response you get will tell you if the queries were successful or if there were errors. The successful results will give you important details about the places, while the failed results will show which queries didn't work.

save

Saving Details

After you've gathered all the information about a place, you can send it to a specific location called an endpoint. This endpoint is like a digital mailbox where you can store the details securely. Think of it as saving a file on your computer so you can access it later. By doing this, you're essentially putting the place details into a special database called Dowell MongoDB. This helps you keep track of the information for future use, like making maps or other projects.

location

Get Local Nearby Locations

This endpoint helps you find places nearby based on specific criteria you provide. You can set a range of distances from a central point using two numbers. The system then checks these distances against a list of locations in its database. If a location falls within the specified range, it gets included in the results. These results can then be shown on a Google Map, making it easy for you to see nearby options.

How Does it Work?

  • Authentication: Users authenticate themselves with the API using authentication tokens or keys. This step ensures that only authorized users can access the API’s functionality.
  • Endpoint Requests: Users make HTTP requests to specific endpoints provided by the API. These requests typically include parameters that specify the desired action or information.

  • Endpoint Processing: The API processes the incoming requests based on the specified endpoint and parameters. This may involve querying internal databases or external maping services to retrieve the required data.

  • Response Generation: Once the processing is complete, the API generates a response containing the requested information. The response is typically formatted as JSON or XML and includes relevant data such as place details, nearby locations, or validation results.

  • Data Transmission: The API transmits the response back to the user’s application through the HTTP protocol. The application can then parse the response and extract the necessary information for further processing or display.

Benefits of Using the Payment API

  • Comprehensive Place Validation: Ensures the existence and accuracy of places on maps, reducing errors and improving data reliability.
  • Rich Location Information: Provides detailed information about places, enabling users to gather more insights and make informed decisions.
  • Efficient Data Storage: Allows users to save and manage place details efficiently, streamlining data storage and retrieval processes.
  • Enhanced Nearby Place Discovery: Facilitates the discovery of nearby places, empowering users to explore their surroundings effectively.
  • User-friendly Interface: Offers a user-friendly interface for exploring and managing locations on maps, enhancing ease of use and accessibility.
  • Versatile Functionality: Supports various location-related tasks, such as place validation, information retrieval, and nearby place discovery, offering versatility in usage scenarios.

WordPress Example

1. How to Get Nearby Places

This endpoint is used to retrieve locations from the Dowell database that meet certain criteria specified in the payload. The input includes two radii, which define the distance range. By comparing the center location in the payload with each location in the database using the Haversine distance formula, the Dowell Living Lab Maps API returns the locations that fall within the specified distance range. These locations can be plotted on a Google Map to provide the user with nearby options.
Please note that the detailed technical specifications and usage of each endpoint can be found in the provided link to the API documentation.

Step 1 : Set up the API name and the base url. It’s a prerequisite to have WP-GET API installed in your wordpress API.
