Como mostrar endpoint no maps pelo get? - javascript

Question

I am new to programming and I am developing an app from which I search for a list of taxis closer to my location through a website. But I’m having a hard time with it.

Lists active taxi drivers within an Endpoint geographical rectangle:

GET https://api.99taxis.com/lastLocations

Parameters:

• sw: Extreme south point, extreme west of the rectangle, in the form "latitude, longitude". Ex: -23.612474,- 46.702746

• ne: Northernmost point, easternmost point of the rectangle, in the format "latitude,longitude". Ex: -23.589548,- 46.673392

Example

Request:

GET https://api.99taxis.com/lastLocations?sw=-23.612474,-46.702746&ne=-23.589548,-46.673392

I can only create an endpoint, but I don’t know how to pull this service and put it on the map, for example:

var person = MapModule.createAnnotation({

    latitude: -23.474891,
    longitude: -46.526756,
    title: 'Você',
    subtitle: 'São Paulo, SP',
    pincolor: MapModule.ANNOTATION_RED,
    image:"/ui/images/buscador.png",
}); 

Could someone help me with the line of codes for me to pick up the latidude and longitude of these taxis in this rectangular geography??? Thanks guys

Dude, check out jQuery’s $.getJSON(). I usually use it to mess with Apis in general. It will make a request with this url and return a JSON with an array, where each index is a dot. You can go through this array with a for, pass the JSON and to home index take the latitude and longitude keys and create an endpoint on the map.

I did something similar in a codepen a few months ago, just changed the API from where I get the information, but overall it’s just what you need. Take a look, it might help you: http://codepen.io/andresampaio/pen/meeGVE
