# tGoogleAddressRow

Converts human-readable addresses into geographic coordinates and other geographic information.

tGoogleAddressRow retrieves geographic information in a two-step process:

1. tGoogleAddressRow accesses the [Google Places API Text Search Service](https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search) via a HTTP request to get the place\_id which uniquely identifies the address you provided.
2. Then, tGoogleAddressRow accesses the Google Places API via a HTTP request to obtain geographic coordinates and other geographic information according to the place\_id of the address you provided. For more information, see [Place Details](https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details).

For further information about Google Places API, see [Google Places API Web Service](https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/intro).

Each data row needs one or several calls to the Places API. The quota will depend on the license provided by Google. Make sure not to run the component on a data set that exceeds your quota, otherwise you will get error messages and addresses will not be corrected.
