Google Geocoding CLI

Takes a CSV containing location data and will carry out geocoding or reverse geocoding using the Google Geocoding API. Supports Python 3 and 2.

##Installation

pip install googlegeocodingcli

Usage

geocoding (address -> lat,long)

When geocoding the CSV file requires a column containing the address.

geocode --keys xxxxxxxxx --file path/test.csv

This will create a temporary file that will store the results of the geocoding and when completed will replace the original file.

address
31 Duke Street, Brighton BN1 1AG

into

address	longitude	latitude
31 Duke Street, Brighton BN1 1AG	-0.1428505	50.8227147

Reverse geocoding (lat,long -> address)

When reverse geocoding the CSV file requires two columns called 'latitude' and 'longitude'.

reverse_geocode --keys xxxxxxxx --file path/test.csv

longitude	latitude
-0.1428505	50.8227147

into

address	longitude	latitude
31 Duke Street, Brighton BN1 1AG	-0.1428505	50.8227147

Using multiple GoogleAPI keys

To increase the number of searches you can conduct per day you can use multiple Google API keys. The keys will be automatically switched once they reach their daily quota.

reverse_geocode --keys xxxxxx,xxxxxx,xxxxxx --file path/test.csv

If you reach you daily quota you for all your keys you can run the CLI again the next day and it will start from where it left (when using the same file).
