NY Taxi Fare prediction interface

Setup

The interface uses 3 APIs:

• The NY Taxi Fare prediction API
• The MapBox Maps API to display a map and address autocomplete
• The MapBox Directions API to display the route on the map

These APIs require credentials and the following steps will guide you to get them and set the interface with.

NY Taxi Fare prediction API

Update the script.js to get prediction from your own API hosted on GCP (make sure to use https, not http):

// script.js

const taxiFareApiUrl = 'https://YOUR_API_URL/predict';

Hint: alternatively, you may use this Le Wagon Prediction API if you do not have one in production:

https://taxifare.lewagon.ai/predict

Note: the following setup steps are optional as you can use Mapbox credentials given by Le Wagon

MapBox Maps and Directions APIs (optional)

• Go to MapBox and create an account
• Go to your Account and grab your Access Token then set it into the script.js

//...
mapboxgl.accessToken = 'YOUR_MAPBOX_API_ACCESS_TOKEN';

python -m http.server 5001
