Google Places Tool
==================

The Google Places Tool allows your agent to utilize the Google Places API in order to find addresses, phone numbers, website, etc. from text about a location listed on Google Places.

Setup[​](#setup "Direct link to Setup")
---------------------------------------

You will need to get an API key from [Google here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/overview) and [enable the new Places API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/places.googleapis.com). Then, set your API key as `process.env.GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY` or pass it in as an `apiKey` constructor argument.

Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")
---------------------------------------
