What can you do with Google Maps Platform on Tray.ai?
Google Maps Platform provides Google's location APIs for geocoding addresses, searching places, calculating routes and travel times, and drawing maps. Tray.ai connects to Google Maps Platform through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Google Maps Platform API alongside the rest of your stack.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- An API key in the query string or an API key in a request header

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Google Maps Platform — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
Keeping Google Maps Platform credentials out of logs
A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.
How Tray.ai helps
Store Google Maps Platform credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.
Challenge
Going from the Google Maps Platform API docs to a working call
Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.
How Tray.ai helps
Paste a cURL example from the Google Maps Platform API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.
Challenge
Handling files and non-JSON responses
Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.
How Tray.ai helps
The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.
How Tray.ai makes this work
Google Maps Platform plugs into the whole Tray.ai platform

Does Tray.ai connect to Google Maps Platform?
+
Yes. Tray.ai connects to Google Maps Platform through the HTTP Connector, which calls the Google Maps Platform API directly. Any call the Google Maps Platform API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.
How does Tray.ai authenticate with Google Maps Platform?
+
The Google Maps Platform API uses an API key in the query string and an API key in a request header. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.
Can I get a dedicated Google Maps Platform connector?
+
Google Maps Platform runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated Google Maps Platform connector from the Google Maps Platform API.
