Introduction

The Google Maps Client Microservice allows easy integration with the Google Maps Geocoding API, providing a streamlined way to convert addresses into geographic coordinates. This microservice is designed to be modular and easily extensible, following best practices for clean architecture.

Features

• Address Geocoding: Convert physical addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).
• Error Handling & Retry Logic: Built-in error handling and retry logic for robust API communication.

Tech Stack

• Backend: .NET 8
• API Client: RestSharp
• Dependency Injection: Used for service registrations and configurations

Usage

1. Register the GoogleMapsClient: Use the RegisterGoogleMapsClient method in DepInj to register the client in the dependency injection container.
2. Fetch Coordinates: Use the GetCoordinatesAsync method from the IGoogleMapsClient to retrieve latitude and longitude for a given address.

Configuration

GoogleMapsOptions

• ApiKey: The API key for accessing the Google Maps Geocoding API.

public class GoogleMapsOptions
{
    public string ApiKey { get; set; }
}
