Hi there,

I was just wondering if it's possible to use this module to read in the API response fields into some content type or something like that. For example if a user enters an ISBN key and then selects a book, if I can take the title, year, etc. of that book and save those values in my site somehow?

I have to admit I haven't looked too much through the code yet, but I'm guessing this is a very easy question for you to answer, so I appreciate your help!

Cheers,
Martin

I am looking for similar functionality in that a user could use google local or search for a specific location like the 'White House, DC" and add the information returned to a node being created.

I assume that the search block could easily be added to the node/edit page where a user could enter a search, and copy paste the listing of choice but it would be nice if it were possible to somehow click the entry they want and have the data automatically inserted into the node being created.

Hey there sorry we haven't really had time lately for maitanace of this module but we are back, can you give me one complete use case what do you want to achieve?

You can show google ajax search result on virtually any place in drupal and via plugins you can feed search query to it. Do you want to do something with the result?

well, I was basically just asking if I can take a Book API response and save it into a content type. I think I just went for some PHP library to handle the request and then manually assigned the fields in the end or something.

Well with google ajax search you can only do that on the client side, which means one should create button save and define action on the button.
