Places - Creation using Google

warning

You must have your TRIP API Key and your account should have a Google API Key set to continue.

You can create a place resolved by Google using the URL /api/by_token/google-search and the method POST.
Your TRIP API Key must be set in the headers: X-Api-Token: <key>.

MethodURLHeaderBody
POST/api/by_token/google-searchX-Api-Token: <key>{ ... }

You have three resolve options:

  1. By name (e.g. British Museum)
  2. By place link (e.g. https://www.google.com/maps/place/British+Museum/@51.5194166,-0.1295...0vMDFoYjM)
  3. By Short link (e.g. https://maps.app.goo.gl/6smTQYq2CmHB5pMN7)
format

The body of your request is always the same:

{
  "q": "..."
}

Optionally, you can specify a category. If Google Maps types mapping to category is not possible and no category is provided, the place will not be created (missing category).
If a category is mapped by Google Maps, it takes precedence over the category specified in the key.

{
  "q": "...",
  "category": "Culture"
}
