Quick Start

Get City Coordinates JSON File from NLGeoCities

To get started, you can obtain a JSON file containing city coordinates from NLGeoCities. Here's how to do it in Python:

  from nl_ego_cities import city_coords

  # Get the JSON file
  cities = city_coords.city_json

  # Access city coordinates
  amsterdam_coords = cities["amsterdam"]
  print(f"Coordinates of Amsterdam: latitude: {amsterdam_coords['lat']}, longitude: {amsterdam_coords['lon']}")

Processing DataFrame with get_lat_lon Function

If you have a DataFrame and want to add latitude and longitude columns using NLGeoCities, you can use the get_lat_lon function. Here's how to do it:

  from nl_ego_cities.load_city_data import get_lat_lon

  # Assuming 'df' is your DataFrame with a 'city' column
  df['city_lat'], df['city_lon'] = get_lat_lon(df, 'city')

Note: The keys in the JSON file are lowercase.
