When you have your API and keys setup, we use roughly one of two types of settings.

### Option 1. Set API keys via PHP Constants (safest)\*

[](#option-1-set-api-keys-via-php-constants-safest)

Follow these steps:

- Set a constant named WO\_GOOGLE\_PLACE\_ID in wp-config.php and fill in your Place ID
- Set a constant named WO\_GOOGLE\_PLACES\_API\_KEY in wp-config.php and fill in your API key

### Option 2. Set API keys via ACF Settings fields (safe enough)

[](#option-2-set-api-keys-via-acf-settings-fields-safe-enough)

Follow these steps:

- Install and active Advanced Custom Fields Pro
- Set up two ACF settings fields named wo\_google\_place\_id & wo\_google\_places\_api\_key
- Set them as options in an ACF options page
- Fill in the Google Place ID and API key in the options pages and save the settings

Example usage of the class
--------------------------

[](#example-usage-of-the-class)

You can now use the class as follows:

### Get all the place details

$placeDetails = $googlePlaces->getPlaceDetails();

Usage in your theme
-------------------

[](#usage-in-your-theme)

You can now get the reviews and aggregated ratings through the WordPress options. The settings are saved as options and will be deleted when cron runs (once daily). The class is set up with a cron job that runs twice daily to fetch the new data.

if( $reviews ) {
    // Do something with the reviews.
}
```
