Answer 1

Answer:

we need to write a client to consume a REST web service

Python code to perform one of the REST calls, in our case GET:

So here the code sends a GET request to find the lattitude, longitude and formatted address of a given location by sending a GET request to Google Maps API.

Python code:

# importing the requests library

import requests

# api-endpoint

URL = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json"

# location given here

location = "delhi technological university"

# defining a params dict for the parameters to be sent to the API

PARAMS = {'address':location}

# sending get request and saving the response as response object

r = requests.get(url = URL, params = PARAMS)

# extracting data in json format

data = r.json()

# extracting latitude, longitude and formatted address

# of the first matching location

latitude = data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat']

longitude = data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng']

formatted_address = data['results'][0]['formatted_address']

  

# printing the output

print("Latitude:%s\nLongitude:%s\nFormatted Address:%s"

%(latitude, longitude,formatted_address))
