Visit the following Google Cloud console and create a project with API access. Restrict the API key to only use Directions API. https://console.cloud.google.com/welcome

Save the API key somewhere secure, you'll use it later.

Set up a python virtualenv and activate it:

1. python -m venv venv
2. source venv/bin/activate
3. pip install -r requirements.txt

1. To run the fastapi server locally: GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=<the key> python app/index.py
2. To just run the core lookup: python app/run_inline.py <the key>

Included in the root level directory is a Starlark .star file that can be compiled and rendered to a .webp executable for TidByt devices. It's not complete, but it is a start. For more docs, check out: https://tidbyt.dev/docs/build/build-for-tidbyt
