A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically calculates and displays travel times from your specified locations to properties listed on idealista.it.

• 🗺️ Automatically calculates distances from your locations to each property
• ⏱️ Shows travel time and distance for each configured location
• 🚗 Supports multiple travel modes (driving, transit, walking, bicycling)
• ⚙️ Easy configuration through popup interface
• 🔄 Real-time updates when browsing listings
• 📍 Works on both listing pages and property detail pages
• 💾 Smart caching - distances are cached locally to minimize API calls and improve performance
• 🌍 Cross-browser support - Works on Chrome and Firefox

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the Distance Matrix API
4. Create credentials (API key)
5. Copy your API key

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/
3. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in top right)
4. Click "Load unpacked"
5. Select the extension folder

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Open Firefox and navigate to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
3. Click "Load Temporary Add-on..."
4. Navigate to the extension folder and select manifest.json

Note: In Firefox, temporary extensions are removed when you close the browser. For permanent installation, you would need to sign the extension through Mozilla Add-ons.

1. Click on the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
2. Add one or more locations (e.g., "Via Roma 1, Milano") - Required
   • Each location has its own travel mode selector (🚗 Driving, 🚌 Transit, 🚶 Walking, 🚴 Bicycling)
   • You can add the same address multiple times with different travel modes
3. Enter your Google Maps API key - Optional (can be added later)
4. Click "Save Settings"

Note: You can save your locations first and add the API key later. Without an API key, the extension will show a reminder to configure it on each listing.

1. Go to idealista.it
2. Search for properties
3. The extension will automatically calculate and display:
   • Travel time from each configured location
   • Distance to the property
   • Information appears above the price for each listing
   • On detail pages: Information appears before the comments section with enhanced styling

• Google Maps API Key: Required for distance calculations
• Locations: Add multiple locations with individual travel modes:
  • 🚗 Driving: Car travel time
  • 🚌 Transit: Public transportation
  • 🚶 Walking: Walking distance
  • 🚴 Bicycling: Cycling distance
  • Tip: Add the same address twice with different modes (e.g., driving + transit) to compare options

The extension displays distance and travel time information directly in the listing:

🏢 Ufficio: 15 min (8.5 km)
🚌 Ufficio: 25 min (8.5 km)
🚶 Casa: 35 min (2.1 km)

The extension uses smart caching to improve performance and reduce Google Maps API usage:

• Distance results are cached locally - Once calculated, distances for a property are stored in your browser
• Cache is indexed by property ID - Each property's distances are stored separately
• Per-location and travel mode - Different origins and travel modes are cached independently
• Persistent across sessions - Cache survives browser restarts
• Automatic cache use - Cached results load instantly without API calls

This means:

• ✅ Faster loading when you revisit listings
• ✅ Lower API costs (fewer calls to Google Maps)
• ✅ Works even when scrolling back through listings you've seen before

• Your API key and locations are stored locally in browser's sync storage
• Distance cache is stored in browser's local storage
• No data is sent to any server except Google Maps API for distance calculations
• The extension only runs on idealista.it

The extension is built using standard WebExtensions APIs and works on:

• Chrome/Chromium - Version 109+
• Firefox - Version 109+

The browser-polyfill.js ensures API compatibility between browsers.

The extension uses the Google Maps Distance Matrix API. Be aware of:

• API usage limits and costs
• Each property check makes one API call per configured location (first time only - results are cached)
