I have a use case where I want to generate random points within a geometry. For my use cause, the geometry is a district with my country — for example, West Bay, Grand Cayman.

If I search for the district in Google Maps, it brings it up with the district outlined. How do I download the points that make up that geometry so I can use Python to generate random points within that geometry?

Or is there an easier way to get random points within a specified geometry? Remember that I want to ensure it is within the district boundaries and not in the middle of a pond or harbour.
