I am calculating latitudes and longitudes from zip code.
I have installed geopy
pip install geopy
In my code:
from geopy.geocoders import GoogleV3
def get_lat_lng(zip_code):
lat, lng = False, False
geocoder = GoogleV3()
location = geocoder.geocode(query=str(zip_code))
if location:
print location
lat, lng = location.latitude, location.longitude
return lat, lng
When I call above method and I am giving zip code of Lahore,Pakistan which is 54000.
get_lat_lng(54000)
Out put of latitude and longitude is:
(46.975033, 31.994583)
Actual latitude and longitude of Lahore are
31.5546° N, 74.3572° E
And on print of location I got:
Mykolaiv, Mykolaivs'ka oblast, Ukraine, 54000
What can be issue ?
The only way I could get it to work was to use the components keyword passing a dict of country code and locality:
from geopy.geocoders import GoogleV3
def get_lat_lng(zip_code):
geocoder = GoogleV3()
location = geocoder.geocode(query=str(zip_code),components={"country": "PK","locality":"lahore"})
if location:
print location._address
lat, lng = location.latitude, location.longitude
return lat, lng
print(get_lat_lng(54000))
Which outputs:
Lahore, Pakistan
(31.55460609999999, 74.3571581)
The other option is to try the region= keyword and/or pass the domain explicitly something other than the default maps.google.com.
Even setting exactly_one to False:
from geopy.geocoders import GoogleV3
def get_lat_lng(zip_code):
lat, lng = False, False
geocoder = GoogleV3()
location = geocoder.geocode(query=str(zip_code), exactly_one=False)
if location:
print [loc.address for loc in location]
print(get_lat_lng(54000))
Does not return any match.
