    "CLIENT_ID": <your_client_id>,
    "CLIENT_SECRET": <your_client_secret>
  },
  "Google": {
    "KEY": <key>
  }
}

API

{
  "latitude": <float_number>,
  "longitude": <float_number>
}

(2) Updating locations with crowdsourced information: Make a post request to /update with the following JSON in the body

{
  "type": <grocer|gas|shelter>,
