Retrieve nearest hospital address from a city name

[Anne_Colin-seguin]

Hello all,

From a Tally form I obtain a city name.
From that city name, i wish to use Make to calculate which hospital would be the nearest and display its address.

I have an issue using the Google APIs, could someone walk me through the steps to exploit this city name and obtain the nearest hospital address ?

Thank you !

Hi @Anne_Colin-seguin ,

Could you, please, add:

• the screenshot and the blueprint of your scenario
• the screenshots of:
  → the output bundle of the module before the module having trouble
  → the input data mapping of the module having trouble
  → the detailed information of the trouble.

Best regards,

Philippe

I have an issue using the Google APIs

Have you set up a connection following this help center article to “Get Google Maps API Key” and then “Establish a connection between Google Maps and Make”?

Using this page for your Google Cloud project (https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/api-list), you need to enable the following

8. You need to enable the following APIs to make all of the Google Maps modules work:

   • Geocoding API
   • Maps Elevation API
   • Time Zone API
   • Directions API
   • Distance Matrix API
   • Map Static API
   • Places API

   Note: To enable these APIs, your account must have billing enabled. You can enable billing at console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable.

How do you define “nearest”? If a city has 3 hospitals within its boundaries, which one would you define as “the nearest”? Nearest to your home, which has a specific coordinate, or nearest to the center of the city?

You’ll likely just need three Google Maps modules for this:

• Get a Location – to get city center coordinates
• Search For Places – to search for “Hospitals” closest to the city center
• Search For Places – to get the full hospital address using the hospital name

1. Get city center coordinates

Output:

2. Search for “Hospitals”

Output:

3. Get the full hospital address

Output:
