Developer Documentation

Introduction

This project contains the geo-location engines for the Python implementation of the 51Degrees Pipeline API.

The Pipeline is a generic web request intelligence and data processing solution with the ability to add a range of 51Degrees and/or custom plug ins (Engines)

Dependencies

For runtime dependencies, see our dependencies page. The tested versions page shows the Python versions that we currently test against. The software may run fine against other versions, but additional caution should be applied.

Installation and Examples

From PyPI

pip install fiftyone-location

You can confirm this is working with the following micro-example.

• Create a resource key for free with the 51Degrees configurator. This defines the properties you want to access.
• On the 'implement' page of the configurator, copy the resource key and replace YOUR_RESOURCE_KEY in the example below. Save this as examplelocation.py
• Run the example with python examplelocation.py
• Feel free to try different locations and property values.

from fiftyone_location.location_pipelinebuilder import LocationPipelineBuilder
pipeline = LocationPipelineBuilder(resource_key="YOUR_RESOURCE_KEY").build()
fd = pipeline.create_flowdata()
fd.evidence.add("query.51D_Pos_latitude", "40.730610")
fd.evidence.add("query.51D_Pos_longitude", "-73.935242")
fd.process()
print(fd.location.town.value())

For more in-depth examples, the following are included with this repository:
