use google maps api to get tax information about a certain address in csharp

To retrieve tax information of a certain address using Google Maps API, you need to perform the following steps in C#:

  1. Use the Geocoding API to retrieve the latitude and longitude of the address.
main.cs
string address = "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA";

var client = new WebClient();
var response = client.DownloadString($"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address={address}&key=YourApiKey");

var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(response);

var location = data.results[0].geometry.location;

  1. Use the latitude and longitude to retrieve the tax rate using the Elevation API.
main.cs
var client = new WebClient();
var response = client.DownloadString($"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/elevation/json?locations={location.Lat},{location.Lng}&key=YourApiKey");

var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ElevationRootObject>(response);

var elevation = data.results[0].elevation;

var taxRate = CalculateTaxRate(elevation); // your custom logic to calculate tax rate based on elevation

Note: You will need to replace YourApiKey with your actual API key from Google. Also, RootObject and ElevationRootObject are custom classes used for deserializing API responses using JSON.NET.

  1. Use the retrieved tax rate for further processing or display it to the user.
main.cs
Console.WriteLine($"Tax rate at {address} is {taxRate}.");
