Address Lookup

This node will do a GPS location reverse lookup and return the associated address with a location. The lookup is done using Google Maps Geocoding API. In order to use this node you will need an API key from Google Cloud Platform.

Input Configuration

• Google Maps API Key: Your Google Cloud Maps API key.
• GPS Coordinates: The GPS Coordinates to look up the address for in decimal degrees format (e.g. 39.108,-84.509).

Output Result

The result of all successful requests will include address, body, headers, and statusCode fields. The address field will have the full address returned.

{
  "address": "1100 Sycamore St. Cincinnati, OH 45202",
  "body": { },
  "headers": { },
  "statusCode": 200
}

The body object contains the entire response data from the API. This can be used to get more granular data.

  "body": {

  },
  "headers": { },
  "statusCode": 200
}

If the request is successfully made, but the API returns an error, check the statusCode and body fields for additional details.

{
  "body": {
  	"status": "REQUEST_DENIED",
  	"results": [],
  	"error_message": "The provided API key is invalid."
  },
  "headers": { },
  "statusCode": 403
}

If the request to Google Maps API fails, the output will contain an error object with additional details.

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Cannot resolve host: maps.googleapis.com",
  }
}
