Welcome to GeoPy’s documentation!¶
geopy is a Python 2 and 3 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.
geopy is tested against CPython 2.7, CPython 3.2, CPython 3.4, PyPy, and PyPy3.
Geocoders¶
Each geolocation service you might use, such as Google Maps, Bing Maps, or
Yahoo BOSS, has its own class in geopy.geocoders
abstracting the service’s
API. Geocoders each define at least a geocode
method, for resolving a
location from a string, and may define a reverse
method, which resolves a
pair of coordinates to an address. Each Geocoder accepts any credentials
or settings needed to interact with its service, e.g., an API key or
locale, during its initialization.
To geolocate a query to an address and coordinates:
>>> from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
>>> geolocator = Nominatim()
>>> location = geolocator.geocode("175 5th Avenue NYC")
>>> print(location.address)
Flatiron Building, 175, 5th Avenue, Flatiron, New York, NYC, New York, ...
>>> print((location.latitude, location.longitude))
(40.7410861, -73.9896297241625)
>>> print(location.raw)
{'place_id': '9167009604', 'type': 'attraction', ...}
To find the address corresponding to a set of coordinates:
>>> from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
>>> geolocator = Nominatim()
>>> location = geolocator.reverse("52.509669, 13.376294")
>>> print(location.address)
Potsdamer Platz, Mitte, Berlin, 10117, Deutschland, European Union
>>> print((location.latitude, location.longitude))
(52.5094982, 13.3765983)
>>> print(location.raw)
{'place_id': '654513', 'osm_type': 'node', ...}
Locators’ geolocate
and reverse
methods require the argument query
,
and also accept at least the argument exactly_one
, which is True
.
Geocoders may have additional attributes, e.g., Bing accepts user_location
,
the effect of which is to bias results near that location. geolocate
and reverse
methods may return three types of values:
When there are no results found, returns
None
.When the method’s
exactly_one
argument isTrue
and at least one result is found, returns ageopy.location.Location
object, which can be iterated over as:(address<String>, (latitude<Float>, longitude<Float>))
Or can be accessed as Location.address, Location.latitude, Location.longitude, Location.altitude, and Location.raw. The last contains the geocoder’s unparsed response for this result.
When
exactly_one
is False, and there is at least one result, returns a list ofgeopy.location.Location
objects, as above:[Location, [...]]
If a service is unavailable or otherwise returns a non-OK response, or doesn’t receive a response in the allotted timeout, you will receive one of the Exceptions detailed below.
Every geocoder accepts an argument format_string
that defaults to ‘%s’
where the input string to geocode is interpolated. For example, if you only
need to geocode locations in Cleveland, Ohio, you could do:
>>> from geopy.geocoders import GeocoderDotUS
>>> geolocator = GeocoderDotUS(format_string="%s, Cleveland OH")
>>> address, (latitude, longitude) = geolocator.geocode("11111 Euclid Ave")
>>> print(address, latitude, longitude)
11111 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106 41.506784 -81.608148

get_geocoder_for_service
(service)¶ For the service provided, try to return a geocoder class.
>>> from geopy.geocoders import get_geocoder_for_service >>> get_geocoder_for_service("nominatim") geopy.geocoders.osm.Nominatim
If the string given is not recognized, a
geopy.exc.GeocoderNotFound
exception is raised.

Calculating Distance¶
New in version 0.93.
Geopy can calculate geodesic distance between two points using the [Vincenty distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty’s_formulae) or [great-circle distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance) formulas, with a default of Vincenty available as the function geopy.distance.distance.
Great-circle distance (great_circle
) uses a spherical model of
the earth, using the average great-circle radius of 6372.795 kilometers,
resulting in an error of up to about 0.5%. The radius value is stored in
distance.EARTH_RADIUS
, so it can be customized
(it should always be in kilometers, however).
Vincenty distance (vincenty
) uses a more accurate ellipsoidal model
of the earth. This is the default distance formula, and is thus aliased as
distance.distance
. There are multiple popular ellipsoidal models, and
which one will be the most accurate depends on where your points are located
on the earth. The default is the WGS-84 ellipsoid, which is the most globally
accurate. geopy includes a few other
models in the distance.ELLIPSOIDS dictionary:
model major (km) minor (km) flattening
ELLIPSOIDS = {'WGS-84': (6378.137, 6356.7523142, 1 / 298.257223563),
'GRS-80': (6378.137, 6356.7523141, 1 / 298.257222101),
'Airy (1830)': (6377.563396, 6356.256909, 1 / 299.3249646),
'Intl 1924': (6378.388, 6356.911946, 1 / 297.0),
'Clarke (1880)': (6378.249145, 6356.51486955, 1 / 293.465),
'GRS-67': (6378.1600, 6356.774719, 1 / 298.25),
}
Here’s an example usage of distance.vincenty:
>>> from geopy.distance import vincenty
>>> newport_ri = (41.49008, -71.312796)
>>> cleveland_oh = (41.499498, -81.695391)
>>> print(vincenty(newport_ri, cleveland_oh).miles)
538.3904451566326
Using great-circle distance:
>>> from geopy.distance import great_circle
>>> newport_ri = (41.49008, -71.312796)
>>> cleveland_oh = (41.499498, -81.695391)
>>> print(great_circle(newport_ri, cleveland_oh).miles)
537.1485284062816
You can change the ellipsoid model used by the Vincenty formula like so:
>>> distance.vincenty(ne, cl, ellipsoid='GRS-80').miles
The above model name will automatically be retrieved from the ELLIPSOIDS dictionary. Alternatively, you can specify the model values directly:
>>> distance.vincenty(ne, cl, ellipsoid=(6377., 6356., 1 / 297.)).miles
Distances support simple arithmetic, making it easy to do things like calculate the length of a path:
>>> d = distance.distance
>>> _, wa = g.geocode('Washington, DC')
>>> _, pa = g.geocode('Palo Alto, CA')
>>> print((d(ne, cl) + d(cl, wa) + d(wa, pa)).miles)

class
geopy.distance.
vincenty
(*args, **kwargs)¶ Calculate the geodesic distance between two points using the formula devised by Thaddeus Vincenty, with an accurate ellipsoidal model of the earth.
Set which ellipsoidal model of the earth to use by specifying an
ellipsoid
keyword argument. The default is ‘WGS-84’, which is the most globally accurate model. Ifellipsoid
is a string, it is looked up in the ELLIPSOIDS dictionary to obtain the major and minor semiaxes and the flattening. Otherwise, it should be a tuple with those values. See the comments above the ELLIPSOIDS dictionary for more information.Example:
>>> from geopy.distance import vincenty >>> newport_ri = (41.49008, -71.312796) >>> cleveland_oh = (41.499498, -81.695391) >>> print(vincenty(newport_ri, cleveland_oh).miles) 538.3904451566326
Note: This implementation of Vincenty distance fails to converge for some valid points. In some cases, a result can be obtained by increasing the number of iterations (iterations keyword argument, given in the class __init__, with a default of 20). It may be preferable to use
great_circle
, which is marginally less accurate, but always produces a result.
-
class
geopy.distance.
great_circle
(*args, **kwargs)¶ Use spherical geometry to calculate the surface distance between two geodesic points. This formula can be written many different ways, including just the use of the spherical law of cosines or the haversine formula.
Set which radius of the earth to use by specifying a ‘radius’ keyword argument. It must be in kilometers. The default is to use the module constant EARTH_RADIUS, which uses the average great-circle radius.
Example:
>>> from geopy.distance import great_circle >>> newport_ri = (41.49008, -71.312796) >>> cleveland_oh = (41.499498, -81.695391) >>> great_circle(newport_ri, cleveland_oh).miles 537.1485284062816
Data¶
-
class
geopy.location.
Location
(address='', point=None, raw=None)¶ Contains a parsed geocoder response. Can be iterated over as (location<String>, (latitude<float>, longitude<Float)). Or one can access the properties address, latitude, longitude, or raw. The last is a dictionary of the geocoder’s response for this item.
New in version 0.98.
-
address
¶ Location as a formatted string returned by the geocoder or constructed by geopy, depending on the service.
Return type: unicode
-
altitude
¶ Location’s altitude.
Return type: float or None
-

¶ Location’s latitude.
Return type: float or None
-
longitude
¶ Location’s longitude.
Return type: float or None
-

Return type: dict or None
-
-
class
geopy.point.
Point
¶ A geodetic point with latitude, longitude, and altitude.
Latitude and longitude are floating point values in degrees. Altitude is a floating point value in kilometers. The reference level is never considered and is thus application dependent, so be consistent! The default for all values is 0.
Points can be created in a number of ways...
With longitude, latitude, and altitude:
>>> p1 = Point(41.5, -81, 0) >>> p2 = Point(latitude=41.5, longitude=-81)
With a sequence of 0 to 3 values (longitude, latitude, altitude):
>>> p1 = Point([41.5, -81, 0]) >>> p2 = Point((41.5, -81))
Copy another Point instance:
>>> p2 = Point(p1) >>> p2 == p1 True >>> p2 is p1 False
Give a string containing at least latitude and longitude:
>>> p1 = Point('41.5,-81.0') >>> p2 = Point('41.5 N -81.0 W') >>> p3 = Point('-41.5 S, 81.0 E, 2.5km') >>> p4 = Point('23 26m 22s N 23 27m 30s E 21.0mi') >>> p5 = Point('''3 26' 22" N 23 27' 30" E''')
Point values can be accessed by name or by index:
>>> p = Point(41.5, -81.0, 0) >>> p.latitude == p[0] True >>> p.longitude == p[1] True >>> p.altitude == p[2] True
When unpacking (or iterating), a (latitude, longitude, altitude) tuple is returned:
>>> latitude, longitude, altitude = p

-
class
geopy.exc.
GeocoderInsufficientPrivileges
¶ The remote geocoding service refused to fulfill a request using the account credentials given.
-
class
geopy.exc.
GeocoderTimedOut
¶ The call to the geocoding service was aborted because no response was receiving within the timeout argument of either the geocoding class or, if specified, the method call. Some services are just consistently slow, and a higher timeout may be needed to use them.
Either it was not possible to establish a connection to the remote geocoding service, or the service responded with a code indicating it was unavailable.
-
class
geopy.exc.
GeocoderParseError
¶ Geopy could not parse the service’s response. This is a bug in geopy.
-
class
geopy.exc.
GeocoderNotFound
¶ Caller requested the geocoder matching a string, e.g., “google” > GoogleV3, but no geocoder could be found.
Logging¶
geopy will log geocoding URLs with a logger name geopy at level DEBUG, and for some geocoders, these URLs will include authentication information. If this is a concern, one can disable this logging by specifying a logging level of NOTSET or a level greater than DEBUG for logger name geopy. geopy does no logging above DEBUG.
