Description

The current Tools integration in Google Tools only integrates with Google Search and requires a SERP API key for authorization. This issue proposes adding Google Maps functionality to the platform. This functionality would require a separate Google Maps API key for authorization. Ideally, users should be able to choose between using only Google Search, only Google Maps, or both simultaneously. However, the current platform design doesn't support managing multiple API keys and enabling selective tool usage.

Proposed Solutions:

1. Enhance existing Google tools:

• Modify the platform to accept and manage both SERP API keys (for Google Search) and Google Maps API keys.
• Implement logic to allow users to choose between using either tool individually or both concurrently.

2. Create separate Google Maps tool:

• Develop a separate tool specifically for Google Maps integration, requiring its own Google Maps API key.
• Offer this tool alongside the existing Google Search tool, allowing users to choose based on their needs.

Hey there, @Yash-1511! Good to see you back with another insightful issue.

Based on your request, it seems like you're looking to integrate Google Maps functionality into the existing Google Tools platform while managing multiple API keys and enabling selective tool usage. Here's a proposed solution:

1. Extend the YAML Configuration: You can add a new section in the google.yaml file for Google Maps API configuration. This involves specifying another variable for the Google Maps API key if it's different from the general Google API key already defined. This is crucial for managing multiple API keys.

- variable: google_maps_api_key
  label:
    en_US: Google Maps API Key
  type: secret-input
  required: true
  placeholder:
    en_US: Enter your Google Maps API Key

2. Selective Tool Usage: To enable selective tool usage, you can introduce feature flags or configuration options that allow the enabling or disabling of specific Google services, including Google Maps. This can be done by adding a boolean variable in the configuration that specifies whether the Google Maps functionality should be enabled.

- variable: enable_google_maps
  label:
    en_US: Enable Google Maps
  type: boolean
  required: false
  default: false

3. Update the Configuration Methods: Ensure that the configurate_methods section includes methods that support dynamic configuration based on the provided API keys and the selective tool usage settings. This might involve creating a custom configuration method that checks the provided API keys and the enabled features before initializing the Google Maps service.

4. Documentation and Help: Update the help section to include guidance on obtaining and using the Google Maps API key, in addition to the existing API key information. This ensures that users are well-informed about how to acquire and enter the necessary API keys for Google Maps integration.

You can find the google.yaml file in the repository here.

Please note that this solution assumes that the Google Tools platform codebase is structured in a way that allows for these modifications. If the codebase is structured differently, the solution might need to be adjusted accordingly. If you need further assistance or if there's anything unclear, please let me know.

You are right, GoogleSearch and GoogleMap are considered as two providers, but more than that, it's by design, maybe make them in the same group is a better solution.

Managing multiple keys in the same provider is already in our plan, you can wait for it.
