For starters, the name of the program is still in progress. With that out of the way, the purpose of this program is to generate a csv of all apartments in a provided city, state, and order them from least to greatest distance from a specified location.
If you're wanting to run this program locally on your own machine, please follow the following setup instrutions.
- Ensure you have
python3installed on your machine. You can installpython3here. - Once you have
python3installed, create a virtual environment for the project, activate the newly created virtual environment, and install the required packages with the following command:
# please ensure you execute this command from a terminal that is in the same directory as the requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
- After setting up you're environment you will need to create an API KEY to utilize Google's Distance Matrix API. Click here to find instructions on how to create your key.
- Once your key has been created, please create a
.envfile in thesrv/directory. In the.env, please add the following:
DISTANCE_MATRIX_KEY=your_newly_created_distance_api_key
- Finally, you should be able to execute
srv/main.py, follow the prompts, and receive aresult.csv!
