Google Maps StrawberryEvery place in Google Maps (Places API), pulled into one sheet
2 read operations and no writes: a companion can search places and get place details in Google Maps (Places API) and hand back the places with the source on each row.
Open the place. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Google Maps (Places API) afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Google Maps (Places API) exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, 2 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can search places and get place details, and work across the places and place details.
The Google Maps (Places API) API stops at Google Maps (Places API). A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Which Google Maps (Places API) places does a companion see?
All 2 operations read. Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can search places and get place details, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Google Maps (Places API)'s documentation.
The places are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the place details. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Google Maps (Places API) admin becomes a queue you review.
- Search Places
- Get Place Details
How does a companion change a place?
Through the screens you already use. Google Maps (Places API) exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Google Maps (Places API) in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a place, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a place in Google Maps (Places API) touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Does the place sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes. Saved as a routine, the Google Maps (Places API) places pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the Google Maps (Places API) places sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
