Hacked together Python 2.7 CLI script made eons ago to help a door-to-door salesperson generate a list of businesses to visit.
It takes in a radius and generates a .csv file containing the business's name, address and rating.
Enter a central location either by Latitude/Longitude or by Suburb/Town etc.
Uses Google's Geocode API and Places API.
- Requires Google Cloud Console API Key (https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/)
- Pass in your api key in the command line as an argument
--api-key
The maximum amount of businesses returned with a non-business license request is 60. Keep your radiuses small.
