Enrich your Google Maps saved places with Places API metadata.
Controls which fields are fetched and billed. All tiers are covered by Google's $200/month free credit for typical personal datasets.
Don't have a key?
Go to console.cloud.google.com, create or select a project, then:
- Go to APIs & Services → Enable APIs and enable Places API (New)
- Go to Credentials → Create Credentials → API key
- Copy the key and paste it below
Google provides a $200/month credit — a personal dataset will stay well within free limits. A billing-enabled project is required regardless.
How to restrict your key
Your key is used directly in the browser and will appear in network requests. To limit exposure: in Google Cloud Console, go to Credentials → your key → API restrictions and restrict it to Places API (New). Under Application restrictions you can also limit it to the HTTP referrer zaleary.tv/*.
How to export your saved places
- Go to takeout.google.com
- Click Deselect all, then check Saved — not Maps or Maps (your places), those are different exports
- Export and download the archive
- Open it and navigate to
Takeout/Saved/ - Upload the CSV files below — each saved list (Favorites, Want to go, etc.) is its own file
