Features

The Baato Python client library makes it easy to integrate the Baato API into existing python projects. This package acts as a wrapper for the following Baato services:

• Search API
• Reverse Search API
• Places API
• Nearby Places API
• Directions API
• Map Styles API

Usage

Search API

After initializing Baato with your access token, the search() method can be used to make requests to the Search API.

from baato import BaatoClient

client = BaatoClient(access_token="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY")

"""Optional Initilization Parameters

- endpoint="https://api.baato.io/api" # default
- version="v1" # default
"""

response = client.search(q="kathmandu")
print(response["data"])
print(response["status"])

"""Optional Search Parameters

- lat and lon =>(float) latitude and longitude coordinates. Useful in mobile applications for providing geographical context to the search. 
- type =>(str) The type or category of results that the request should return. For example: hospital, cafe etc.
- radius =>(int)  Radius, in kilometers from the specified lat/lon pair within which to look for results. Only integer values supported. By default the value is set to 10.
- limit =>(int) The number of results that the request should return. By default the value is set to 5.
"""

Reverse Search API

After initializing Baato with your access token, the reverse() method can be used to make requests to the Reverse Search API.

from baato import BaatoClient

client = BaatoClient(access_token="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY")

response = client.reverse(lat=27.70446921370009,lon=85.32051086425783)
print(response["data"])
print(response["status"])

"""Optional Reverse Parameters

- radius =>(int) A proxy variable for the inaccuracy, denoting how close around the coordinates should the algorithm look for potential address nodes.
- limit =>(int) The number of results to be returned; defaults to 1.
"""

response = client.places(place_id=100006)
print(response["data"])
print(response["status"])

NearbyPlaces API

After initializing Baato with your access token, the near_by() method can be used to make requests to the NearbyPlaces API.

from baato import BaatoClient

client = BaatoClient(access_token="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY")

response = client.near_by(lat=27.717245, lon=85.323959, type="school")
print(response["data"])
print(response["status"])

"""Here is the list for merged feature types:
