Geocoder is a simple and consistent geocoding library.
Project description
Simple and consistent geocoding library written in Python.
Many online providers such as Google & Bing have geocoding services, these providers do not include Python libraries and have different JSON responses between each other.
It can be very difficult sometimes to parse a particular geocoding provider since each one of them have their own JSON schema.
Here is a typical example of retrieving a Lat & Lng from Google using Python, things shouldn’t be this hard.
>>> import requests
>>> url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json'
>>> params = {'sensor': 'false', 'address': 'Mountain View, CA'}
>>> r = requests.get(url, params=params)
>>> results = r.json()['results']
>>> location = results[0]['geometry']['location']
>>> location['lat'], location['lng']
(37.3860517, -122.0838511)Now lets use Geocoder to do the same task.
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.google('Mountain View, CA')
>>> g.latlng
(37.3860517, -122.0838511)API Overview
Many properties are available once the geocoder object is created.
Forward
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.google('Mountain View, CA')
>>> g.geojson
>>> g.json
>>> g.wkt
>>> g.osm
...Reverse
>>> g = geocoder.google([45.15, -75.14], method='reverse')
>>> g.city
>>> g.state
>>> g.state_long
>>> g.country
>>> g.country_long
...House Addresses
>>> g = geocoder.google("453 Booth Street, Ottawa ON")
>>> g.housenumber
>>> g.postal
>>> g.street
>>> g.street_long
...IP Addresses
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.ip('199.7.157.0')
>>> g = geocoder.ip('me')
>>> g.latlng
>>> g.cityCommand Line Interface
