The Ruby Client for Google Maps Services is a Ruby Client library for the following Google Maps APIs:

• Roads API
• Places API
• Static Maps API
• Street View Image API

It supports both JSON and XML response formats.

Please make sure you are using the latest release to get the newest features.

• Ruby 2.1 or later.
• A Google Maps API key.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'googlemaps-services'

And then execute:

Or install it yourself as:

View the reference documentation.

This example uses the Directions API with an API key:

  require 'googlemaps/services/client'
  require 'googlemaps/services/directions'

  include GoogleMaps::Services

  client = GoogleClient.new(key: 'Add API key here', response_format: :json)
  directions = Directions.new(client)

  # Get directions via public transit in JSON format.
  # To return the result in XML format, change the Client response_format parameter to :xml.
  result = directions.query(origin: '75 9th Ave, New York, NY',
                            destination: 'MetLife Stadium Dr East Rutherford, NJ 07073',
                            mode: 'transit',
                            departure_time: Time.now)
  # Print the result
  puts result
