Question

i would like to call this method from Google Maps Javascript API: google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(origin, destination) from python, not from javascript. How can I do it ?

Answer 1

You could use a library called requests .

Sample request:

>>> r.status_code
200
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'application/json; charset=utf8'
>>> r.encoding
'utf-8'
>>> r.text
u'{"type":"User"...'
>>> r.json()
{u'private_gists': 419, u'total_private_repos': 77, ...}
