Quick Start

Online API Usage

from quantaroute_geocoding import QuantaRouteClient

# Initialize client
client = QuantaRouteClient(api_key="your-api-key")

# Geocode an address
result = client.geocode("India Gate, New Delhi, India")
print(f"DigiPin: {result['digipin']}")
print(f"Coordinates: {result['coordinates']}")

# Convert coordinates to DigiPin
result = client.coordinates_to_digipin(28.6139, 77.2090)
print(f"DigiPin: {result['digipin']}")

# Reverse geocode DigiPin
result = client.reverse_geocode("39J-438-TJC7")
print(f"Coordinates: {result['coordinates']}")

Offline Processing

from quantaroute_geocoding import OfflineProcessor

# Initialize offline processor
processor = OfflineProcessor()

# Convert coordinates to DigiPin (offline)
result = processor.coordinates_to_digipin(28.6139, 77.2090)
print(f"DigiPin: {result['digipin']}")

# Convert DigiPin to coordinates (offline)
result = processor.digipin_to_coordinates("39J-438-TJC7")
print(f"Coordinates: {result['coordinates']}")

# Validate DigiPin format
result = processor.validate_digipin("39J-438-TJC7")
print(f"Valid: {result['isValid']}")

CSV Bulk Processing

from quantaroute_geocoding import CSVProcessor

# Initialize processor
processor = CSVProcessor(api_key="your-api-key")

# Process addresses to DigiPin
result = processor.process_geocoding_csv(
    input_file="addresses.csv",
    output_file="results.csv",
    address_column="address"
)

print(f"Processed {result['total_rows']} rows")
print(f"Success rate: {result['success_rate']:.1%}")

# Process coordinates to DigiPin (can use offline mode)
processor_offline = CSVProcessor(use_offline=True)
result = processor_offline.process_coordinates_to_digipin_csv(
    input_file="coordinates.csv",
    output_file="digipins.csv"
)

Command Line Interface

The package includes a powerful CLI for batch processing:

Geocode addresses from CSV

# Using API
quantaroute-geocode geocode addresses.csv results.csv --api-key your-key

# With custom columns
quantaroute-geocode geocode data.csv output.csv \
    --address-column street_address \
    --city-column city_name \
    --state-column state_name

Convert coordinates to DigiPin

# Online processing
quantaroute-geocode coords-to-digipin coordinates.csv digipins.csv --api-key your-key

# Offline processing (no API key needed)
quantaroute-geocode coords-to-digipin coordinates.csv digipins.csv --offline

Convert DigiPin to coordinates

# Online processing
quantaroute-geocode digipin-to-coords digipins.csv coordinates.csv --api-key your-key

# Offline processing
quantaroute-geocode digipin-to-coords digipins.csv coordinates.csv --offline

Single operations

# Convert single coordinate to DigiPin
quantaroute-geocode single-coord-to-digipin 28.6139 77.2090 --offline

# Convert single DigiPin to coordinates
quantaroute-geocode single-digipin-to-coords "39J-438-TJC7" --offline

# Check API usage
quantaroute-geocode usage --api-key your-key

Advanced Features

Webhook Management

# Register webhook
webhook = client.register_webhook(
    url="https://your-app.com/webhook",
    events=["bulk_processing.completed", "geocoding.completed"]
)

# List webhooks
webhooks = client.list_webhooks()

# Delete webhook
client.delete_webhook(webhook['id'])

Batch Processing with Progress Callback

def progress_callback(processed, total, success, errors):
    print(f"Progress: {processed}/{total} - Success: {success}, Errors: {errors}")

processor = CSVProcessor(api_key="your-key")
result = processor.process_geocoding_csv(
    input_file="large_dataset.csv",
    output_file="results.csv",
    progress_callback=progress_callback
)

Offline Grid Operations

processor = OfflineProcessor()

# Get grid information
grid_info = processor.get_grid_info("39J-438-TJC7")
print(f"Grid center: {grid_info['center']}")
print(f"Grid bounds: {grid_info['bounds']}")

# Find nearby grids
nearby = processor.find_nearby_grids(28.6139, 77.2090, radius_meters=100)
for grid in nearby:
    print(f"DigiPin: {grid['digipin']}, Distance: {grid['distance_meters']}m")

# Calculate distance between coordinates
distance = processor.calculate_distance(28.6139, 77.2090, 28.6150, 77.2100)
print(f"Distance: {distance:.2f} km")

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export QUANTAROUTE_API_KEY="your-api-key"

API Configuration

client = QuantaRouteClient(
    api_key="your-key",
    base_url="https://api.quantaroute.com",  # Custom base URL
    timeout=30,  # Request timeout in seconds
    max_retries=3  # Maximum retry attempts
)

CSV Processor Configuration

processor = CSVProcessor(
    api_key="your-key",
    use_offline=False,  # Use offline processing when possible
    batch_size=50,  # Records per API batch
    delay_between_batches=1.0  # Delay in seconds between batches
)

Error Handling

from quantaroute_geocoding import (
    QuantaRouteError,
    APIError,
    RateLimitError,
    AuthenticationError,
    ValidationError
)

try:
    result = client.geocode("Invalid address")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limit exceeded. Retry after {e.retry_after} seconds")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation error: {e}")
except APIError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e} (Status: {e.status_code})")

Performance Tips

1. Use Batch Processing: Process multiple addresses in batches for better performance
2. Offline Mode: Use offline processing for coordinate ↔ DigiPin conversions
3. Caching: The API includes intelligent caching - repeated requests are faster
4. Rate Limits: The SDK handles rate limits automatically with retry logic
5. CSV Processing: Use the CSV processor for large datasets instead of individual API calls
