Hi
I am developing an iPhone app which needs to call Google Map V2
Javascript API to get routing information. The app is using JSON to
generate the request and parse the response. What I observed is that
the response from Google Map is changing and not consistent over time.
For example, below is a snippet that is part of the response processed
by JSON. As you can see, the value of the root node for the routing
information is "B". But as times goes on, the root node may change its
value to "A". I have found such changes happened several places in the
response and there is no pattern how the keys are changing themselves.
B = {
Distance = {
html = "2,884 mi";
meters = 4641558;
};
Duration = {
html = "1 day 21 hours";
seconds = 163819;
};
End = {
coordinates = (
-121.07983,
37.705488,
0
);
};
Steps = (
{
Distance = {
html = "85 ft";
meters = 26;
};
Duration = {
html = "2 secs";
seconds = 2;
};
Point = {
coordinates = (
-74.00615,
40.71436,
0
);
};
descriptionHtml = "Head <b>southwest</b> on
<b>Broadway</b> toward <b>Chambers St</b>";
polylineIndex = 0;
},
{
Distance = {
html = "0.4 mi";
meters = 635;
};
Duration = {
html = "1 min";
seconds = 87;
};
Point = {
coordinates = (
-74.00632,
40.71416,
0
);
};
descriptionHtml = "Take the 1st <b>right</b> onto
<b>Chambers St</b>";
polylineIndex = 2;
},
...
When calling Google Map V2 API from iPhone, I used a Google Map API's
key which is not generated by Google but just an arbitrary character
sequence. My question is as below:
1) Is the API' key the root cause of the issue I observed in my iPhone
app?
2) If so, can I resolve the issue by requesting a key officially from
Google? I tried to sign up for a key but it needs me to provide my
homepage URL. As I am using the key in an mobile application instead
of in a website, I don't know how I could request the key without an
website URL.
Thanks for you time on my question.
Regards,
Chen
