streetlevel 0.5.1

Download panoramas and metadata from Street View and others

streetlevel

streetlevel is a library for downloading panoramas and metadata from street-level imagery services including Google Street View, Apple Look Around, and several others.

Since it relies on calls to internal APIs, it may break unexpectedly.

(Nearly) all functions are available as both a sync function using requests or an async function using aiohttp, requiring a ClientSession.

Installation

pip install streetlevel

Example

Downloading the closest Google Street View panorama to a specific location, sync:

from streetlevel import streetview

pano = streetview.find_panorama(46.883958, 12.169002)
streetview.download_panorama(pano, f"{pano.id}.jpg")

Or async:

from streetlevel import streetview
from aiohttp import ClientSession

session = ClientSession()
pano = await streetview.find_panorama_async(46.883958, 12.169002, session)
await streetview.download_panorama_async(pano, f"{pano.id}.jpg", session)
await session.close()
