Nearbytes
Find Anything Anywhere
What this shortcut does
Nearbytes utilizes the power of the Google Places API and the iPhone’s Location feature to find anything you want—wherever that may be! Nearbytes allows users to set parameters such as ‘Open Now’, minimum and maximum price, and search radius so you can find exactly what you want. As of v3, users can now view additional details about a particular place, such as full address, phone number (with added 'Tap to Call' feature), business hours, user ratings & reviews, and more! To view place details: Tap on the name of the place in the search results table Tap the share icon at the bottom of the screen Tap 'Copy' in the share sheet menu Tap 'Shortcuts' in upper left-hand corner of your screen This will take you back to Shortcuts where the additional details page will be displayed! ##### Note Nearbytes requires a Google Places API key to operate. If you do not have one, you can obtain a FREE* Google Places API key here. ###### * Google now requires a billing account to be set up to obtain a Places API key. However, the billing account will be credited with $200 each month. So, if you don’t exceed that $200 credit (API calls are ~$0.017 per call) in a month, then you will not be charged. I strongly recommended watching the following short video to learn how to use the new features in version 3, most notably, viewing additional place details.
