Google Maps Microservice

This is a google maps microservice that returns a URL to be used to embed a map based on a location to your website. It uses RabbitMQ and CloudAMQP to handle messages between applications, and a flask server to host RabbitMQ. The service is hosted on Heroku.

How to use:

The test.py file in the main subdirectory has the code that demonstrates use.

To call the service, prepare JSON formatted data in the form of: {"location": "destination"}.

Then add the prepared data to the following URL: https://map-microservice.herokuapp.com/get_map/"your data here" without the quotations.

The service will return a JSON formatted dictionary with the map embed URL. There are various ways to retrieve this data.

Python example on how to retrieve data:

import requests, json

call = "https://map-microservice.herokuapp.com/get_map/{"location": "Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona"}

response = json.dumps(requests.get(call).json())

# this would return {"url": "requested url here", "success": "true"}
