Given a Takeout of Google Location History, generate a CSV of work history.

Requires Python 3.6+.

Example usage

1. Create a document with your points of interest:

   # Format is lat, long, radius
   # '#' can be used to comment a line out
   38.8100121,-104.6792472, 0.04
   39.1355552,-121.3484781, 0.1
   

   Google Maps will be handy for determining the latitude and longitude of places.

2. Use Google Takeout to export your location history.

   • Current link is https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout?hl=en
   • Support link is https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en

3. (Optional) Determine the time period(s) you're intested in and get the Unix timestamps of the start and stop dates.

4. Run the script. Assuming your POIs are in area.txt, your location history is at history.json, and a date range of 1 Oct 2018-1 Mar 2019:

   # Dump information to screen
   ./extact2.py history.json --area=area.txt --time=1538373600,1551423600 
   
   # Or to a CSV
   ./extact2.py history.json --area=area.txt --time=1538373600,1551423600 --output=results.csv
