Hello, I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to save photos from a google places api call. Bubble staff said it’s allowed but the instructions I was given don’t work and I always end up with an error message or it saving a blank white square to my data field. I am able to make a call and display the places image, just not save it. Has anyone been able to do this successfully?
