An easy-to-use wrapper for the Mapquest Geocoding API.
Make sure to register for Mapquest API key.
pip install mapq
The easiest way to use mapq is by setting the MAPQUEST_API_KEY
environment variable in your local environment.
export MAPQUEST_API_KEY="my_api_key"
There are two ways of interacting with mapq's API.
>>> import mapq
>>> mapq.key('my_api_key')
>>> mapq.address('155 9th St San Francisco, CA')
[{'lots': {'of': 'results'}}, ...]
>>> mapq.batch('94103', '1 Infinity Loop Cupertino', 'Yerba Buena Park')
[{'multiple': 'locations'}, ...]
>>> mapq.geocode('155 9th St San Francisco, CA')
{'single': {'geocode': 'result'}}
>>> mapq.reverse(37.775002, -122.418297)
{'looks': {'like': '155 9th St'}}
>>> mapq.latlng('155 9th St San Francisco, CA')
{'lat': 37.775002, 'lng': -122.418297}Alternatively, you can also use the Mapquest API by interacting with the Geo
class.
>>> from mapq import Geo
>>> g = Geo('my_api_key')
>>> g.address('155 9th St San Francisco, CA')
[{'lots': {'of': 'results'}}, ...]
>>> g.batch('94103', '1 Infinity Loop Cupertino', 'Yerba Buena Park')
[{'multiple': 'locations'}, ...]
>>> g.reverse(37.775002, -122.418297)
{'looks': {'like': '155 9th St'}}
>>> g.latlng('155 9th St San Francisco, CA')
{'lat': 37.775002, 'lng': -122.418297}
