google-distance-ssrf-fixed v1.0.1

Google Distance Matrix API for Node.js

Easily get traveling distance and duration data between locations with the Google Distance Matrix API

Installation

npm install google-distance

Usage

var distance = require('google-distance');

distance.get(
  {
    origin: 'San Francisco, CA',
    destination: 'San Diego, CA'
  },
  function(err, data) {
    if (err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(data);
});

The above example outputs the following data object:

{
  index: null,
  distance: '807 km',
  distanceValue: 807366,
  duration: '7 hours 30 mins',
  durationValue: 26981,
  origin: 'San Francisco, CA, USA',
  destination: 'San Diego, CA, USA',
  mode: 'driving',
  units: 'metric',
  language: 'en',
  avoid: null,
  sensor: false
}

Batch Mode

This example will return an array of data objects corresponding to all origin/destination pairs.

distance.get(
{
  origins: ['San Francisco, CA','San Diego, CA'],
  destinations: ['San Diego, CA','Seattle, WA']
},
function(err, data) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(data);
});

Result:

Additional Parameters

Here is a full list of options you can include to tailor your query:

• origin, destination - name (eg. 'San Francisco, CA') | latitude/longitude (eg. '51.510652,-0.095444')
• index - null (default) | specify an index for identification
• mode - 'driving' (default) | 'walking' | 'bicycling'
• units - 'metric' (default) kilometers/meters | 'imperial' miles/feet
• language - 'en' (default) | more languages
• avoid - null (default) | 'highways' | 'tolls'
• sensor - false (default) | true | determines if GPS is used to find user location

Note: The units setting only affects the text displayed within distance fields.

distanceValue is always in meters, and durationValue is always in seconds.

More Examples

This example specifies mode and units:

distance.get(
  {
    origin: 'San Francisco, CA',
    destination: 'Los Angeles, CA',
    mode: 'bicycling',
    units: 'imperial'
  },
  function(err, data) {
    if (err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(data);
});

Outputs:

{
  index: null,
  distance: '499 mi',
  distanceValue: 802534,
  duration: '1 day 21 hours',
  durationValue: 161896,
  origin: 'San Francisco, CA, USA',
  destination: 'Los Angeles, CA, USA',
  mode: 'bicycling',
  units: 'imperial',
  language: 'en',
  avoid: null,
  sensor: false
}

Let's use latitude and longitude for our origin/destination and an index:

distance.get(
{
  index: 1,
  origin: '37.772886,-122.423771',
  destination: '37.871601,-122.269104'
},
function(err, data) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(data);
});

Outputs:

{
  index: 1,
  distance: '21.9 km',
  distanceValue: 21946,
  duration: '21 mins',
  durationValue: 1251,
  origin: 'Octavia Boulevard, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA',
  destination: '2066-2070 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94704, USA',
  mode: 'driving',
  units: 'metric',
  language: 'en',
  avoid: null,
  sensor: false
}

API Keys

Using an API key is not required, but recommended since you can track your usage and make sure you don't exceed Google's quota. You can request a key by following these steps.

Specify an API key for use like this:

var distance = require('google-distance');
distance.apiKey = 'API_KEY';

Business users can omit the API key and instead specify their business client and signature keys:

var distance = require('google-distance');
distance.businessClientKey = 'CLIENT_KEY';
distance.businessSignatureKey = 'SIGNATURE_KEY';
