Usage Example
Make a new geocoder and geocode and address:
>>> from omgeo import Geocoder >>> g = Geocoder() >>> result = g.geocode('340 12th St, Philadelphia PA')
Take a look at the result:
>>> result {'candidates': [ <340 S 12th St, Philadelphia, PA, 19107 (-75.161461, 39.94532) EsriWGS>, <340 N 12th St, Philadelphia, PA, 19107 (-75.158434, 39.958728) EsriWGS> ], 'upstream_response_info': [<EsriWGS 1054ms>]}
Take a closer look at the information in our address Candidate objects:
>>> [c.__dict__ for c in result["candidates"]] [{'geoservice': 'EsriWGS', 'locator': u'USA.AddressPoint', 'locator_type': u'PointAddress', 'match_addr': u'340 S 12th St, Philadelphia, PA, 19107', 'score': 90.87, 'wkid': 4326, 'x': -75.161461, 'y': 39.94532}, {'geoservice': 'EsriWGS', 'locator': 'interpolation', 'locator_type': u'StreetAddress', 'match_addr': u'340 N 12th St, Philadelphia, PA, 19107', 'score': 90.87, 'wkid': 4326, 'x': -75.158434, 'y': 39.958728}]
