Planimatik Google Tool API

This API is for efficient usage of the Google Maps API, utilizing Redis to minimize usage costs.

The query and its result will be stored in Redis for 30 days. During this period, if the same query is repeated, the stored result will be returned instead of querying Google, thus saving the corresponding cost.
