I’ve found Google Maps “Popular Times” feature to be enormously useful for certain places like the gym, restaurants, etc. and would love to have a couple of the most used ones embedded into my HA instance.
As far as I know, this feature does not yet have an official API, but I have linked some info on the feature and an active GitHub project below:
There’s a couple new projects on GitHub if a more programing-minded person could look into possible integration.
I’ve posted the following as well in another post, mentioned by freakshock, but maybe worth placing here as well:
I’ve looked into using the Google popular times data as well, but Google blocks the data after a while. Maybe you all could try an alternative data-source https://BestTime.app . They provide foot-traffic data that comes closes to Google but with an easier software API. You can start with a free test account, but unfortunately, it is paid for higher usage. Anyway, this works for me to track the popularity for several places every hour.
