Since I couldn't find a geocoding service in forge available for reactive apps, I am trying to use google's Geocoding directly, however I have no experience in REST API requests. How can I do this?
Since i will provide address and want to receive coordinates, I believe I need a POST request, but I can't sort out the correct URL, Request and Response inputs.
Alternatively, if there is a geocoder for reactive in Forge, that would also help.
Hello,
Specifically regarding google maps API I can't find the URL. Do you have any experience in this?
Best regards,
Hi,
For this if not any Forge available then you call the rest api. REST api calling is straight forward in OutSystems. You can follow below URL for reference. If face any issue in calling the API then let us know.

Hello mr. Alexandre,
Thank you for your help, it helped me advance, but now I am at a different issue: for some reason, the google_Address2Geo in that resource seems not to be working.
Either the address must be set in a very specific way, or the ApiKey is in a format that isnt the 39 character key google provided me. Can you help me finding out if I am doing any of them wrong?
