# Google places integration

> Integrate with the Google places tool using LangChain JavaScript.

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

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

<Tip>
  See [this section for general instructions on installing LangChain packages](/oss/javascript/langchain/install).
</Tip>

```bash npm theme={null}
npm install @langchain/openai @langchain/community @langchain/core
```

```typescript theme={null}
import { GooglePlacesAPI } from "@langchain/community/tools/google_places";
import { OpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { initializeAgentExecutorWithOptions } from "@langchain/classic/agents";

export async function run() {
  const model = new OpenAI({
    temperature: 0,
  });

  const tools = [new GooglePlacesAPI()];

  const executor = await initializeAgentExecutorWithOptions(tools, model, {
    agentType: "zero-shot-react-description",
    verbose: true,
  });

  const res = await executor.invoke({
    input: "Where is the University of Toronto - Scarborough? ",
  });

  console.log(res.output);
}
```
