Google maps Geocode results undefined
So I am trying to geocode an address from google maps but when I try to access the results it says the array containing the results are undefined. I've have done the exact opposite of this with looking up an address from coordinates, granted that was in PHP, I'm not sure why this isn't working. I would like to just parse through the JSON to get to the data I want (The Lat and long), but since I am unable to do that, I have done a work around and just did JSON.stringify and locate the Lat & long via
str.locate("lat")However, When I parse the json response from google maps I get this
{ results:
[ { address_components: [Object],
formatted_address: '2985 NW Moda Way, Hillsboro, OR 97124, USA',
geometry: [Object],
place_id: 'ChIJt-G-MmcPlVQROzDAlEVj1nA',
types: [Object] } ],
status: 'OK'
}
Where the object inside the geometry is what I want, to get this I am using the request library from node.js. And I am console logging the
JSON.parse(response.body);JSON.stringify(response.body.results[2]);TypeError: Cannot read property '2' of undefined
Edit: Code I am using request for google maps API
request('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=' + address + '+' + parsedStreet + '&key=' + key, function(err, response) {
if (err)
console.log("holy shit error");
console.log(JSON.parse(response.body.results));
which returns
undefined
^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0address and parsedStreet are address values that I am reading from a file to convert into coordinates
It looks like you're trying to access the result index before you actually parse the JSON into an object, so you're trying to get the result index from a string. You need to JSON.parse just the response body, and then get into the results, like so:
console.log(JSON.parse(response.body).results);
