I found out how I can store JSON data into a custom field. I completely forgot to use add_action.
Here is my answer below I added to functions.php.
You have to add custom field place_id and its value then click ‘publish or ‘update’ for the other fields to populate.
function google_places_data( $post = null ) {
if ( ! $post = get_post( $post ) )
return;
if ( ! $place_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'place_id', true ) )
return; // No place ID configured for this post
if ( $data = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'place_data', true ) ) {
if ( $data->timeout <= current_time( 'timestamp' ) )
$data = null; // Void the cache if it's old
}
if ( ! $data ) {
$args = http_build_query(
array(
'key' => 'AIzaSyCarm54WzOXFhXqmEU3rkUorDoa8b3Nzog', // API key
'placeid' => $place_id
)
);
$http = wp_remote_get( "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?$args" );
if ( $body = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $http ) ) {
if ( $data =@ json_decode( $body ) )
$data->timeout = current_time( 'timestamp' ) + HOUR_IN_SECONDS; // Cache data for 1 hour
$place_address = $data->result->formatted_address;
$place_lat = $data->result->geometry->location->lat;
$place_long = $data->result->geometry->location->lng;
$place_phone="000-000-010";
update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'place_address', $place_address );
update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'place_lat', $place_lat );
update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'place_long', $place_long );
update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'place_phone', $place_phone );
}
if ( $data ) {
update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'place_data', $data );
} else {
echo 'api error';
}
}
return $data;
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'google_places_data', 10, 4 );
