Integrate Google Maps API to determine restaurants in range #49

Open johnmck95 opened 8 months ago

johnmck95 commented 8 months ago

NutritionIX requires a 'query' string when we filter by macros.

We need to gather the user location, and a radius of how many far the user wants to look for food.

Use the google maps API to determine how many restaurants are within radius distance from the user, grab all of those names, then include it in the 'query' parameter to fetch from nutritionIX

This issue is being put in the backlog due to competing priorities.

Researching Google APIs unfolded a credit card was required to receive an API key, which we were not comfortable providing despite the $300 start-up credit. For this reason, we will limit the scope of restaurants to those available in Victoria for the time-being, which can be done for free.
