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.
Example
Consistant JSON responses from various providers.
>>> g = geocoder.google('New York City')
>>> g.latlng
[40.7127837, -74.0059413]
>>> g.state
'New York'
>>> g.json
...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
$ geocode "Ottawa, ON" >> ottawa.geojson
