ll2location

Installation

pip install ll2location

Usage example: Find from all country

from latlong.gadm import Gadm
from latlong.latlong import LatLong

#init all gadm package in all country, it may take a long time, maybe a few hours
gadm = Gadm()  
gadm.get_shp_fully()

#init lat long
lat = 10.773213
long = 106.671818

#from lat long to location
latlng = LatLong()
code, country_info, detail_info = latlng.to_location(10.773213, 106.671818)
print(detail_info)

The output could be:

{'GID_3': 'VNM.25.10.4_1',
  'GID_0': 'VNM',
  'COUNTRY': 'Vietnam',
  'GID_1': 'VNM.25_1',
  'NAME_1': 'Hồ Chí Minh',
  'NL_NAME_1': 'NA',
  'GID_2': 'VNM.25.10_1',
  'NAME_2': 'Quận 10',
  'NL_NAME_2': 'NA',
  'NAME_3': 'Phường 12',
  'VARNAME_3': 'Ward 12',
  'NL_NAME_3': 'NA',
  'TYPE_3': 'Phường',
  'ENGTYPE_3': 'Ward',
  'CC_3': 'NA',
  'HASC_3': 'NA'}

Usage example: Find from specific country code

from latlong.latlong import LatLong
from latlong.gadm import Gadm, GetGadm

#show country code infomation
get_gadm = GetGadm()
codes_detail = get_gadm.get_codes_detail()
print(codes_detail)

#init gadm package in specific country
code = "VNM"
gadm = Gadm()
gadm.get_shp_by_code(code)

#init lat long
lat = 10.773213
long = 106.671818

#from lat long to location in specific country
latlng = LatLong()
detail_info = latlng.to_location_by_country_code(code, lat, long)

print(detail_info)

The output could be:

{'GID_3': 'VNM.25.10.4_1',
 'GID_0': 'VNM',
 'COUNTRY': 'Vietnam',
 'GID_1': 'VNM.25_1',
 'NAME_1': 'Hồ Chí Minh',
