Welcome folks today in this tutorial we will be making a distance-time calculator desktop app using the google maps distance matrix api in python full project for beginners. All the source code of the application is shown below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to install the following libraries inside your python project by using the pip command
pip install tkinter
pip install requests
pip install json
Now after installing all these libraries make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
app.py

Now inside this python script just replace the api_key and then run this by typing the below command
python app.py
