Python Client for Mapzen APIs

A Python client for the Mapzen APIs.

Mapzen Features

  • Forward geocoding to find a place by searching for an address or name
  • Reverse geocoding to find what is located at a certain coordinate location
  • Autocomplete to give real-time result suggestions without having to type the whole location
  • Global coverage with prioritized local results

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/duydo/python-mapzen.git

Usage

from mapzen.api import MapzenAPI

api_key = 'your api_key'
api = MapzenAPI(api_key)

# Search a specific location
# r = api.search('Ho Chi Minh')

# Search within Vietnam
r = api.search(
    'Ho Chi Minh',
    boundary_country='VN'
)

# Search within Vietnam and place types: country, region or locality (towns, hamlets, cities)
r = api.search(
    'Ho Chi Minh',
    boundary_country='VN',
    layers='country,region,locality'
)

# Reverse geocoding
r = api.reverse(48.858268, 2.294471)

# Autocomplete
r = api.autocomplete('Ho Chi Minh')

# Expand an address (remove abbreviations, possibly with multiple ambiguities - for example, St may expand to either Street or Saint)
r = api.expand('475 Sansome St San Francisco CA')

# Parse an address
r = api.parse('475 Sansome St San Francisco CA')

# Parse an address, and get the results in a simple dictionary
r = api.parse('475 Sansome St San Francisco CA', format='keys')
