Google Map API getting error [SOLVED]

My button code is below:

Code: Select all

 on mouseUp
   put the text of fld "city" into tCityName
   put the text of fld "country" into tCountry
   put the text of fld "vanue" into tVanue
   //put "address=(& tVanue,& tCityName,& tCountry)" into tAddress
   //put "&key=AIzaSyBmOIfVwbXdFd0_zFjz8kmHi5KqyJvjIKw" into appID
  
   
   
put "[https:]//maps.googleapis.[com]/maps/api/geocode/json?"&tAddress&appID into tURL
put URL tURL into tRawJSON
put textDecode(tRawJSON,"UTF8") into fld "weatherdata"
put arrayFromJson(tRawJSON) into tArray

end mouseUp
Result is below:

Code: Select all

{
   "error_message" : "Invalid request. Missing the 'address', 'bounds', 'components', 'latlng' or 'place_id' parameter.",
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "INVALID_REQUEST"
}
Please advice

Hi proloy,

did you really comment out these two lines? :shock:

If not, you are passing the STRINGS tCityName etc. and not the content of the variables with that name to the URL function!

Code: Select all

put "address=(& tVanue,& tCityName,& tCountry)" into tAddress
## tAddress = address=(& tVanue,& tCityName,& tCountry)
Should be:

Code: Select all

put "address=(&" & tVanue & ",&" & tCityName & ",&" & tCountry & ")" into tAddress
And you are still not using JSONtoArray(), we already had this two days ago! 8)

   put the text of fld "vanue" into tVanue
   //put "address=(&" & tVanue & ",&" & tCityName & ",&" & tCountry & ")" into tAddress
   ## tAddress = address=(& tVanue,& tCityName,& tCountry)
   //put "&key=AIzaSyBmOIfVwbXdFd0_zFjz8kmHi5KqyJvjIKw" into appID
  
   
   
put "[https:]//maps.googleapis.[com]/maps/api/geocode/json?"& tAddress& appID into tURL
put URL tURL into tRawJSON
put textDecode(tRawJSON,"UTF8") into fld "weatherdata"
##put arrayFromJson(tRawJSON) into tArray
put JSONtoArray(tRawJSON) into tArray

end mouseUp
Same Result..

I figure out my problem,
My text fld is not working in tURL

my text fld is like:

Code: Select all

1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA
and google need like:

Code: Select all

1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA
if i write like this:

Code: Select all

[https]://maps.googleapis.[com]/maps/api/geocode/json?address=&tVanue&key=AIzaSyBmOIfVwbXdFd0_zFjz8kmHi5KqyJvjIKw
then location show "Sweet Fern Lane , Rhode Island , United States.
if i don't put &tVanue in url, then result is same.

please advice

Plz advice.

So you need to replace space with "+" in tAddress
Do you think you can figure out the syntax for that? :wink:

Better though is to urlEncode tAddress which will take care of any chars not valid for a url without having to make multiple replace statements.

BUT remember to concatenate the url string properly. LiveCode does not work to evaluate the contents of a variable inside the quoted literal string like php. Connect the parts together as shown above by Klaus

SparkOut Thanks for your reply. i am compliantly new in coding, can you advice me how to do that :(

You need to look up "replace" in the dictionary. The syntax is literally as I wrote above.
Also look up "urlEncode"

Klaus showed the way to make a string that combines quoted litrral text with variables.
Your best bet is to get some more practice by working through these simple instructional stacks http://www.hyperactivesw.com/revscriptc ... ences.html

I have tried urlEncode:

Code: Select all

 put urlEncode("tVanue") into tURL
maps/api/geocode/json?address=tVanue&key=
results:

Code: Select all

{
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "ZERO_RESULTS"
}
or

Code: Select all

replace "<tAdd>" with urlEncode(tVanue) in tURL 
or
replace "<tAdd>" with urlEncode("tVanue") in tURL
maps/api/geocode/json?address=<tAdd>&key=

Code: Select all

 "results" : [
      {
         "address_components" : [
            {
               "long_name" : "125",
               "short_name" : "125",
               "types" : [ "street_number" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "East Forrest Avenue",
               "short_name" : "E Forrest Ave",
               "types" : [ "route" ]

Hi proloy,

as explained in my first post, you are urlencodeing the STRING "tVanue" and not the content of the variable with that name!

Code: Select all

...
## put urlEncode("tVanue") into tURL
put urlEncode(tVanue) into tURL
...
See the difference?
Putting quotes around a variable name makes it a STRING!

put "[https:]//maps.googleapis.[com]/maps/api/geocode/json?address=&tVanue&key=AIzaSyBmOIfVwbXdFd0_zFjz8kmHi5KqyJvjIKw" into tURL
put URL tURL into tRawJSON
put textDecode(tRawJSON,"UTF8") into fld "weatherdata"
##put arrayFromJson(tRawJSON) into tArray
put JSONtoArray(tRawJSON) into tArray

end mouseUp
can you try this, and advice me..
Thanks.

Don't you read the postings here? I already explained your error twice...

OK, try this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put urlencode(the text of fld "city") into tCityName
   put urlencode(the text of fld "country") into tCountry
   put urlencode(the text of fld "vanue") into tVanue
  
   put "address=(&" & tVanue & ",&" & tCityName & ",&" & tCountry & ")" into tAddress
   put "&key=AIzaSyBmOIfVwbXdFd0_zFjz8kmHi5KqyJvjIKw" into appID  
   put "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?"& tAddress & appID into tURL
    
   put URL tURL into tRawJSON
   put textDecode(tRawJSON,"UTF8") into fld "weatherdata"
   put JSONtoArray(tRawJSON) into tArray  
end mouseUp

Please, use the link I posted above and work through the samples to get more understanding of LiveCode basics.

Life is simple, if you know :D
Like:

Code: Select all

replace space with "+" in tURL
I am totally fresh in coding, i have no idea about it (That's why i don't understand your technical langues). But i start a project for sports broadcasting application :)
Every day i learn and apply on my project. After 4 days, finally i fixed my problem (Google Map API getting error) with your help and support.
Thank you very much both of you ( Klaus, SparkOut) to teach me. :)

Klaus i try your code, result:

Code: Select all

{
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "ZERO_RESULTS"
}
My quarry is not finish, tomorrow i will be back with new quarry. Let me try first :D

So at least the format of the query is correct, and that was my intention. :D
I have no idea how exactly the Google API works, so that may be the problem here.

Yes, there's a lot to learn if you aren't familiar with the jargon. I do think the link that SparkOut posted would help a lot and it would clear up much of the confusion. These are a series of stacks aimed at the new beginner who knows nothing about LC and they don't assume anything. It's a basic intro about the main concepts you have to know to get anything done.

For this one instance, do you know what a "string" is? It means a literal series of characters. Anything inside quotation marks is assumed to be that exact sequence of letters. So there is a big difference between these two things:

tVanue -- a variable that contains some kind of content
"tVanue" -- the literal letters t-V-a-n-u-e

In your handler:

Code: Select all

put "[https:]//maps.googleapis.[com]/maps/api/geocode/json?address=&tVanue&key=AIzaSyBmOIfVwbXdFd0_zFjz8kmHi5KqyJvjIKw" into tURL
The variable tVanue is inside a quoted string, which means that Google will receive the word "vanue" instead of the content the variable contains. So you must split that out of the quoted literal by using the example Klaus posted. It ends the quotation marks just before the variable, concatenates it using ampersands, and then starts the literal quote again.

Make sense?
