A utility to sign static map URLs.

Inspired by url-signer.

Help is Always Appreciated! If you would like to help make this code better get in touch by opening an issue.

You must first initialize the singleton:

var urlSign = require('google-signed-url');

urlSign.init({
    latitude: <LATITUDE>,
    longitude: <LONGITUDE>,
    zoom: <ZOOM LEVEL>,
    size: <e.g.'600x600'>,
    maptype: <'roadmap', 'satellite', 'hybrid', 'terrain'>
    markerColor: <e.g. '0x9F2538'>,
    client: <CLIENT ID>,
    privateKey: <PRIVATE KEY>
  });

Then you can sign the URL:

var signedUrl = urlSign.getSignedUrl();

You don't need to pass in any additional parameters.

NOTES:

1. This module assumes you want to place a single marker on the static map and that the coordinates match the lat/long in the singleton. This should be modified in the future to allow for more flexibility.

2. Use something like dotenv to store your Client ID and Private Key as environment variables instead of having them in your code.
