Date Location Extractor

date_location_extractor is a date_location extractor that retrieves dates and locations found in a list of strings. The input can either be a json file with a list or you can use a list directly

Install & Setup

Grab the package using pip (this will take a few minutes)

pip install TBD

Dater Location Extractor uses the following dependencies:

• datetime
• dateutil
• geotext
• datefinder
• ast
• os

Basic Usage

Import the module, give some text or a URL, and presto.

from date_location_extractor import DateLocationExtractor

date_location_extractor = DateLocationExtractor()
print(date_location_extractor.get_date_location_from_json_file("list_to_parse.json", use_simple_parser=True))

• use_simple_parser does not use datefinder and uses the simple dateutil parser

The result is a list of dictionaries, e.g:

[{'address': 'San Juan Costa Rica', 'date_iso': '2009-11-27', 'ranking': 1.0, 'normalized_address': {'City': 'San Juan', 'Country': 'CR'}}]

Without loading a file:

from date_location_extractor import DateLocationExtractor

date_location_extractor = DateLocationExtractor()
print(date_location_extractor.get_date_location_from_list(["13 May 2009", "12/15/2010"]))
print(date_location_extractor.get_date_location_from_list_with_parser(["13 May 2009", "12/15/2010"]))
