Need help integrating Google Maps Geocoding into our Lovable web app (AWB → JSON)

Hey everyone 👋

We’ve built a Lovable web app that parses DOCX shipping labels (AWB files) into structured JSON for logistics automation — mapping sender, recipient, and address details.

Now we’re adding a new feature: automatically enriching each address with latitude, longitude, and placeId using Google Maps Geocoding / Places API.

We already created and activated the API key, but we’re having trouble connecting it properly in Lovable and getting valid responses from the API.

Looking for:

suggestions on how to implement geocoding in a Lovable server action / edge function,
examples of best practices for handling API keys and caching repeated addresses.

Any guidance or examples would be super helpful 🙏
