2024-08-13 - Distriator - Beta - Backend & UX improvements

## Updates on Project Distriator

### Discussion with @starkerz

- We had a detailed call with @starkerz
- Over the call, we understood the limitation of current implementation of business management model.
- We jotted down all the points with which we can improve the overall experience

### Changes in Trusted Business Guides APIs

![Changes in Trusted Business Guides APIs](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQTW6Yx8X81QNkbcHShrbUhfPxfDwQWEXsBzrbqgVrg1h/screenshot_2024_08_14_at_10.38.40_pm.png)

- We did update the trusted-business-guides repository last week.
- Today, while reviewing code & planning the front-end task, we realised that APIs needed update.
- We immediately addressed this blocker & updated the APIs.
- With this front-end work for business-guides management was unblocked.

![Trusted Guides need city & country](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdGjhvXiqRhof9bk4BgSMHehNHkaNGEkDp6vHvte99nFc/screenshot_2024_08_14_at_11.58.47_am.png)

### Google Places API - NearBy Vs Text Search

![Near By search](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdAxTpAr3bAmsUfG5TPgBzMyQur5TSpwvJL89LgwSU7ze/screenshot_2024_08_14_at_10.40.05_pm.png)

- We implemented Near By Search API from Google Places
- However, it didn't produce result as per our expectation.
- We couldn't find most useful results without pagination
- We experienced this during the demo & discussion with @starkerz

### Switching to Google Text Search for Places

![Text Based Search](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRgwALyrz3dJ979w7rFiEicQd9DrhPSThv28X7Lwz65eL/screenshot_2024_08_14_at_10.40.19_pm.png)

- This new API is similar to Near By search API
- Here, on top of location, you can also sent text query
- With this, we have higher possibility of getting expected result.
- Upon trying for 10 different businesses, we found match in first page.

- So, from front-end, admins will require to enter city & choose country for a trusted guide when adding a trusted guide.
- With this, any guide who has logged in, will be able to add businesses in his/her area only

### Updating Beta Distriator APIs with Text-Search of Google Places

![Updating Beta Distriator APIs with Text-Search of Google Places](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaKrkeaHU4wifrUkTJMaSXCDtBFKPqoGnceLMwQSHHHVw/screenshot_2024_08_14_at_7.38.03_pm.png)

- As you can see in the screenshot above, in the request, we are sending 3 values - lat, lng & text query.
- And in response, you can see that, we are getting expected result in first page it self.
- After testing these API locally for couple businesses locally, we shipped it to beta environment.
- We are now working UX changes to implement these new API.

### Improving API result of Text-Search of Google Places

![Improving API result of Text-Search](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTCJdRuJ1mYUX9Dsj9FG2y4gTL1VBTzRyA37READY3Rjx/screenshot_2024_08_14_at_4.03.34_pm.png)

- With the screenshot above, we are highlighting that, we have now added details of hashed-url of the google photos of a business.
- In order to get the exact images, we'll have to hit google photos API
- We are working on adding such APIs so that we can download photos from Google Photos of a specific business & upload it to SpkNetwork's decentralised infrastructure.

### What's Next?

- ✅ Deploy APIs on a new backend - beta-environment
- ✅ Deploy front-end on beta-environment, pointing to beta-backend
- ✅ Beta > Update Trusted Guides API & accept city, country
- ✅ Beta > Update Places APIs to provide search results with query provided
- ⏳ Requirement Specs > Access Matrix for Business Management Module
- ⏳ FrontEnd > Address the feedback provided by @starkerz on UX of Business management
- ⏳Test everything on beta env
- ⏳ Testing + Dev > Fix issues if we find any 
- Beta > BackEnd > New API to upload image
- Beta > FrontEnd > Step by Step add a business
- Beta > FrontEnd > Business Guides - Add / Edit - City, Country
- Beta > FrontEnd > Auto populate - Address Line one, City, State, Country, Phone Number, WebSite, Work Timings, Business Types
- Write a script to add all businesses to database
- Deploy things to production
