Hello!

 

I would like to download all a list of grocery stores for a specific region or country using Google Places API through Alteryx. Is there a recorded webinar or detailed instructions I can use. I have no experience in APIs. also, is there a charge for using the Google API?

Hi, I believe google places will charge on a "Pay as you go" model. You most likely will have to look and see/monitor how many requests you are allowed per month and if you ever go over that. I have a google places macro that you will be able to use, you will just need to insert your Google Places API KEY into the Python script (In the "INSERT YOUR KEY HERE" text) once you have created an account. How many requests are you planning to do a month? 

If this works for you, please mark as a solution. If not, let me know how we can edit it!

Probably 70,000 a month.

You'll have to look into their billing and how much they charge per request. Have you looked at the Alteryx Location Insights by chance? We also have the ability to take addresses and find their associated Lat and Longs.

The workflow works well for me but is only limited to outputting 20 records. the issue is that I need the addresses and locations which is why Google seem like the better option.

Which workflow is limiting you to 20 records?
