In this article we look at a python library for
geopy is a Python client for several popular geocoding web services.
geopy makes it easy for Python developers to locate the coordinates of addresses, cities, countries, and landmarks across the globe using third-party geocoders and other data sources.
Examples
This is a basic example
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geo_locator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapitest")
place_1 = "1964 Independence Ave SW"
location = geo_locator.geocode(place_1)
print(location.address)
print(location.latitude, location.longitude)
data_1 = location.raw
print (data_1)
location_data = data_1['display_name'].split()
print ("\nThe Full Location is: ")
print (location_data)
print ("The Zip code of the location is: ", location_data[-3])

coordinates example
To find the address corresponding to a set of coordinates:
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geo_locator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapitest")
location = geo_locator.reverse("38.88939505, -77.04030796874613")
print(location.address)
