Utilities for working with Placekeys
Project description
Placekey-py
A Python library for working with Placekeys. Documentation for this package can be found here, and documentation for the Placekey service API can be found here. The Plackey design specification is available here. The details in Placekey encoding is here. We welcome your feedback.
Installation
This package can be installed from PyPI by
pip install placekey
MacOS Big Sur may need to run brew install geos
if the installation of the shapely
dependency fails.
Usage
The basic functionality of the Placekey library is conversion between Placekeys and latitude-longitude coordinates.
>>> import placekey as pk
>>> lat, long = 0.0, 0.0
>>> pk.geo_to_placekey(lat, long)
'@dvt-smp-tvz'
>>> pk.placekey_to_geo('@dvt-smp-tvz')
(0.00018033323813810344, -0.00018985758738881587)
The library also allows for conversion between Placekeys and H3 indices.
>>> pk.placekey_to_h3('@dvt-smp-tvz')
'8a754e64992ffff'
>>> pk.h3_to_placekey('8a754e64992ffff')
'@dvt-smp-tvz'
The distance in meters between two Placekeys can be found with the following function.
>>> pk.placekey_distance('@dvt-smp-tvz', '@5vg-7gq-tjv')
12795124.895573696
An upper bound on the maximal distance in meters between two Placekeys based on the length of their shared prefix is provided by placekey.get_prefix_distance_dict()
.
>>> pk.get_prefix_distance_dict()
{0: 20040000.0,
1: 20040000.0,
2: 2777000.0,
3: 1065000.0,
4: 152400.0,
5: 21770.0,
6: 8227.0,
7: 1176.0,
8: 444.3,
9: 63.47}
Placekeys found in a data set can be partially validated by
>>> pk.placekey_format_is_valid('222-227@dvt-smp-tvz')
True
>>> pk.placekey_format_is_valid('@123-456-789')
False
API Client
This package also includes a client for the Placekey API. The methods in the client are automatically rate limited.
>>> from placekey.api import PlacekeyAPI
>>> placekey_api_key = "..."
>>> pk_api = PlacekeyAPI(placekey_api_key)
The PlacekeyAPI.lookup_placekey
method can be used to lookup the Placekey for a single place.
>>> pk_api.lookup_placekey(latitude=37.7371, longitude=-122.44283)
{'query_id': '0', 'placekey': '@5vg-82n-kzz'}
>>> place = {
>>> "location_name": "Twin Peaks Petroleum",
>>> "street_address": "598 Portola Dr",
>>> "city": "San Francisco",
>>> "region": "CA",
>>> "postal_code": "94131",
>>> "iso_country_code": "US"
>>> }
>>> pk_api.lookup_placekey(**place, fields=["building_placekey","address_placekey","confidence_score","gers"])
{'query_id': '0',
'placekey': '227-223@5vg-82n-pgk',
'address_placekey': '227@5vg-82n-pgk',
'building_placekey': '227@5vg-82n-pgk',
'confidence_score': 'HIGH',
'gers': None}
The PlacekeyAPI.lookup_placekeys
method can be used to lookup Placekeys for multiple places.
>>> places = [
>>> {
>>> "street_address": "1543 Mission Street, Floor 3",
>>> "city": "San Francisco",
>>> "region": "CA",
>>> "postal_code": "94105",
>>> "iso_country_code": "US"
>>> },
>>> {
>>> "query_id": "thisqueryidaloneiscustom",
>>> "location_name": "Twin Peaks Petroleum",
>>> "street_address": "598 Portola Dr",
>>> "city": "San Francisco",
>>> "region": "CA",
>>> "postal_code": "94131",
>>> "iso_country_code": "US"
>>> },
>>> {
>>> "latitude": 37.7371,
>>> "longitude": -122.44283
>>> }
>>> ]
>>> pk_api.lookup_placekeys(places, fields=["building_placekey","address_placekey","confidence_score","gers"])
[{'query_id': 'place_0',
'placekey': '0rsdbudq45@5vg-7gq-5mk',
'address_placekey': '0rsdbudq45@5vg-7gq-5mk',
'building_placekey': '22g@5vg-7gq-5mk',
'confidence_score': 'HIGH',
'gers': None},
{'query_id': 'thisqueryidaloneiscustom',
'placekey': '227-223@5vg-82n-pgk',
'address_placekey': '227@5vg-82n-pgk',
'building_placekey': '227@5vg-82n-pgk',
'confidence_score': 'HIGH',
'gers': None},
{'query_id': 'place_2',
'placekey': '@5vg-82n-kzz',
'confidence_score': 'HIGH',
'gers': None}]
