HERE¶
Send a request to the geocode endpoint to find an address using a combination of country, state, county, city, postal code, district, street and house number. Using Geocoder you can retrieve geocoded data from the HERE Geocoder REST API.
Geocoding¶
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.here('Espoo, Finland')
>>> g.json
...
This provider may return multiple results by setting the parameter maxRows to the desired number (1 by default). You can access those results as described in the page ‘Access to geocoder results’.
A bounding box can be supplied as an array of the form [minX, minY, maxX, maxY] to restrict results.
>>> import geocoder
>>> bbox = [-118.604794, 34.172684, -118.500938, 34.236144]
>>> g = geocoder.here("Winnetka", bbox=bbox)
>>> g.address
"Winnetka, CA, United States"
>>> g = geocoder.here("Winnetka")
>>> g.address
"Winnetka, IL, United States"
...
Please refer to this section for more details. Reverse Geocoding ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.google([45.15, -75.14], method='reverse')
>>> g.json
...
