Make consuming this package easier?

[jaydp17]

Currently, the usage involves getting an API_KEY from Google, which could be too much hassle for a lot of people.

Any alternate way to make it simpler?

Some of the things I've in mind

• OAuth Sign in
• Make my API_KEY public and ship it with the package ( not really sure how secure it is 😨 )

Your suggestions welcome ... 🙂

hi,
Google's API_KEY is required for API access and is subject to quotas. So if you make it public, another person can use it and mess up your service quota. So you should keep it secret.

If I understand correctly, your project consists in client-side code making calls to Google's API. So the best choice is to provide OAuth 2.0 auth. relevant link

Hey @daveseco7, thanks for the interest!

It does make sense to use OAuth.
I'd really appreciate if you can send in a PR implementing it
