A general purpose project for myself to fetch info about restaurants and "do stuff" with it.

This project is set up using virtualenvs. I'm using Python 3.8.3 since that's what I happen to have installed, though other Python versions likely work as well.

python3 -m venv venv
source activate venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a copy of creds.example.json and name it creds.json - this is where the application will pull API keys from in development.

This project uses various APIs that require some external setup.

To set up Google Cloud:

• Go to the Google Cloud console and set up a new project.
• Enable the Google Maps Platform API by following the instructions here
  • Note that you may need to enable a billing account for this.
• Save the Google Maps API key to creds.json in the repo.
• If running this on Google Cloud, enable the APIs needed for that here
  • Install the Google Cloud CLI.
  • Initialize the CLI (run gcloud init and everything else should work).

To set up Yelp:

• Go to the Yelp Create New App portal and set up a new app.
• Save the API key to creds.json in the repo.
