Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Installation Operations Credentials Compatibility Usage Resources Version history

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Operations

  • Get Travel Time and Distance: Calculates the travel time and distance between a specified origin and destination. You can specify the travel mode (Driving, Walking, Bicycling, or Transit).

Credentials

To use this node, you need to authenticate with the Google Maps API. You'll need a Google Maps API key.

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Create a new project or select an existing one.
  3. Enable the "Distance Matrix API" for your project.
  4. Create an API key in the "Credentials" section.
  5. It is recommended to restrict the API key to be used only for the Distance Matrix API.
  6. In your n8n workflow, create new credentials for the Google Maps node.
  7. Enter your API key in the "API Key" field.

Compatibility

This node is compatible with n8n version 1.0.0 and later. It is tested against n8n * (as per peerDependencies).

Usage

This node takes an origin and a destination as input, along with a travel mode, and returns the travel distance and duration.

Example:

If you provide:

  • Origin: "New York, NY"
  • Destination: "Boston, MA"
  • Travel Mode: "Driving"

The node will output an object containing:

  • origin: The full address of the origin.
  • destination: The full address of the destination.
  • distance: The distance in a human-readable format (e.g., "215 mi").
  • distanceValue: The distance in meters.
  • duration: The duration in a human-readable format (e.g., "3 hours 53 mins").
  • durationValue: The duration in seconds.
