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.
```python
>>> 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.
```python
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.google('Mountain View, CA')
>>> g.latlng
(37.3860517, -122.0838511)
```
### Multiple Results : WIP
As for now, Geocoder always returns one result: the best match according to the queried provider.
A Work is In Progress to support multiple results, starting with the provider `geonames`.
```python
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.geonames('Mountain View, CA', maxRows=5)
>>> print(len(g))
5
>>> for result in g:
... print(result.address, result.latlng)
...
Mountain View ['37.38605', '-122.08385']
Mountain View Elementary School ['34.0271', '-117.59116']
Best Western Plus Mountainview Inn and Suites ['51.79516', '-114.62793']
Best Western Mountainview Inn ['49.3338', '-123.1446']
Mountain View Post Office ['37.393', '-122.07774']
```
As a side note, this change does not break backward compatibility, and the usual properties are still available, and applies on the best match:
```python
# the default result is still the best match
>>> g.latlng
(37.3860517, -122.0838511)
```
Documentation

https://geocoder.readthedocs.org/
API Overview
------------
Many properties are available once the geocoder object is created.
### Forward
```python
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.google('Mountain View, CA')
>>> g.geojson
>>> g.json
>>> g.wkt
>>> g.osm
```
**WIP SideNote / multiple results**
For the providers currently supporting multiple results (see table below), the `geojson` property called on `g` will not apply to the best match but to all results. See documentation for more details on this.
### Reverse
```python
>>> g = geocoder.google([45.15, -75.14], method='reverse')
>>> g.city
>>> g.state
>>> g.state_long
>>> g.country
>>> g.country_long
```
### House Addresses
```python
>>> g = geocoder.google("453 Booth Street, Ottawa ON")
>>> g.housenumber
>>> g.postal
>>> g.street
>>> g.street_long
```
### IP Addresses
```python
>>> g = geocoder.ip('199.7.157.0')
>>> g = geocoder.ip('me')
>>> g.latlng
>>> g.city
```
### Bounding Box
Accessing the JSON & GeoJSON attributes will be different
```python
>>> g = geocoder.google("Ottawa")
>>> g.bbox
{"northeast": [45.53453, -75.2465979], "southwest": [44.962733, -76.3539158]}
>>> g.geojson['bbox']
[-76.3539158, 44.962733, -75.2465979, 45.53453]
>>> g.southwest
[44.962733, -76.3539158]
```
Command Line Interface
----------------------
```bash
$ geocode "Ottawa, ON" >> ottawa.geojson
$ geocode "Ottawa, ON" \
--provide google \
--out geojson \
--method geocode
```

Installation
------------
### PyPi Install
To install Geocoder, simply:
```bash
$ pip install geocoder
```
### GitHub Install
Installing the latest version from Github:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/DenisCarriere/geocoder
$ cd geocoder
$ python setup.py install
```
### Snap Install
To install the stable geocoder [snap](https://snapcraft.io) in any of the [supported Linux distros](https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install):
```bash
$ sudo snap install geocoder
```
If you want to help testing the latest changes from the master branch, you can install it from the edge channel:
```bash
$ sudo snap install geocoder --edge
```
The installed snap will be updated automatically every time a new version is pushed to the store.
