Fetch Venue Images

Automatically download and update venue images from Google Places API

Processes 50 venues at a time. Each run takes ~10 seconds. Safe to run multiple times.

Download & Store Permanent Images

Download image binaries from Google and store them permanently on Base44 (OWNS the data)

How It Works

1.Searches Google Places API for each venue by name, address, and city

2.Downloads the first high-quality photo from Google's API

3.Locks the image to prevent future overwrites

4.Marks venues where no image was found for manual review
