Overview

Upload 360° photos to Google Maps without using Google's app.

The main reason why I created this is because Google Maps isn't a good replacement of the former app. You are only able to upload 360 photos to specific places on the map. With this project, it is possible to upload them at any coordinates.

If you want to try it out, there are publicly available instances:

URL	Country	Status	Hosted By
map.moomoo.me	USA	Up	@moom0o
map.winscloud.net	TH	Up	@WinsDominoes

Quick start

In order to get the Google api keys required for the oauth follow these steps:

Client ID

Create a new project at https://console.cloud.google.com/
Head over to the API library and enable the Street View Publish API
Select 'Create Credentials', select 'User Data', enter any app name/email.
Enable the 'Street View Publish API' scope. You won't need any sensitive scopes.
Select 'Web application' for type, and name it anything.
Add http://localhost:7000 to authorized javascript origins. (If you are running on another domain/port, replace localhost)
Add http://localhost:7000/auth/ to authorized redirect URIs (If you are running on another domain/port, replace localhost)
You should now copy the Client ID into the config.json file.

Client Secret

Head to the main credentials screen and click the pencil. (Edit OAuth Client) You will be able to find the Client Secret and copy that to your config.json.

Select 'OAuth consent screen', use any name/email
Make sure the authorized domain and email is correct, then select 'Save and Continue'.
Make sure the Street View Publish API scope is enabled, if not, add it!
For test users, add the email address of the account where you want to upload 360 photos.
Make sure to also copy the client ID into index.html, after '&client_id=' and before '&scope', if needed, change the port and domain here as well.

Config File

There are many options in the config file that might confuse you, so here's a simple guide (I think?) to help you get through it.

Keys	Default values	Usage
`https`	`false` (boolean)	This is an option whether if you want to enable https or not, this uses boolean values. `false` = http:// and `true` = https://
`host`	`localhost` (string)	Your host or domain, if you are hosting on a local machine, set this to `localhost`, if you are hosting this publicly, set it to your domain.
`port`	`7000` (integer) or `null`	Your port, if are running this as a public instance, set this to `null`
`openWebBrowser`	`true` (boolean)	This option will open a browser window to PhotoSphereStudio's running instance, set this to `false` if you are running this on a server,
`clientId`	string	Paste your Google OAuth Client ID here, check the previous steps on how to get it.
`clientSecret`	string	Paste your Google OAuth Client Secret ID here, check the previous steps on how to get it.

INFO: Your authorized JavaScript origins and authorized redirect URIs should be the same as the one you have set in your config file.

Scenario 1 - Public Instance

This example is for those who are hosting a public instance, your https, host and port would look something like this. Change map.winscloud.net to your domain.

{
  "https": true,
  "host": "map.winscloud.net", 
  "port": null
}

Your authorized JavaScript origin would be: https://map.winscloud.net

Your authorized redirect URIs would be: https://map.winscloud.net/auth/ (don't forget the slash after auth)

Scenario 2 - Private Instance

This example is for those who are running PhotoSphereStudio on a local machine, your https, host and port would look something like this.

{
    "https": false,
    "host": "localhost",
    "port" 7000
}

Your authorized JavaScript origin would be: http://localhost:7000

Your authorized redirect URIs would be: http://localhost:7000/auth/ (don't forget the slash after auth)
