I have download a list of addresses from google_reverse_code API but for a list of places with latitude and longitude information, since I'm very new in R. I don't know how to extract the useful information. All the code for downloading databases is at the bottom of the question.
The structure of the list in general is this.
`$ 60 :List of 1
..$ results:'data.frame': 1 obs. of 5 variables:
.. ..$ address_components:List of 1
.. .. ..$ :'data.frame': 8 obs. of 3 variables:
.. .. .. ..$ long_name : chr [1:8] "119" "Avenida Diego Díaz de Berlanga"
"Jardines de Anahuac 2do Sector" "San Nicolás de los Garza" ...
.. .. .. ..$ short_name: chr [1:8] "119" "Avenida Diego Díaz de Berlanga"
"Jardines de Anahuac 2do Sector" "San Nicolás de los Garza" ...
.. .. .. ..$ types :List of 8
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr "street_number"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr "route"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr [1:3] "political" "sublocality" "sublocality_level_1"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "locality" "political"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "administrative_area_level_2" "political"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "administrative_area_level_1" "political"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "country" "political"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr "postal_code"
.. ..$ formatted_address : chr "Avenida Diego Díaz de Berlanga 119, Jardines
de Anahuac 2do Sector, 66444 San Nicolás de los Garza, N.L., Mexico"
.. ..$ geometry :'data.frame': 1 obs. of 3 variables:
.. .. ..$ location :'data.frame': 1 obs. of 2 variables:
.. .. .. ..$ lat: num 25.7
.. .. .. ..$ lng: num -100
.. .. ..$ location_type: chr "ROOFTOP"
.. .. ..$ viewport :'data.frame': 1 obs. of 2 variables:
.. .. .. ..$ northeast:'data.frame': 1 obs. of 2 variables:
.. .. .. .. ..$ lat: num 25.7
.. .. .. .. ..$ lng: num -100
.. .. .. ..$ southwest:'data.frame': 1 obs. of 2 variables:
.. .. .. .. ..$ lat: num 25.7
.. .. .. .. ..$ lng: num -100
.. ..$ place_id : chr "ChIJRY_wPdqUYoYRTJetT6AJETA"
.. ..$ types :List of 1
.. .. ..$ : chr "street_address"
I need the information as a data frame perform my analysis. The information specifically is c(latitude, longitude, formatted_address, place_id)
The code that I have written is this:
prueba <- sapply(direccion1, function(x){
uno <- unlist(x[[1]])
})
pureba2 <- data.frame(prueba)
I get the following error : Error in (function (..., row.names = NULL,
check.rows = FALSE, check.names = TRUE, :
arguments imply differing number of rows: 40, 32, 37, 44, 36, 0, 41, 28, 39,
47, 43, 35, 48
Among other code that does not work.
The code for downloading the data that contains the longitude and latitude is the following.

The code for getting the address information is the following.

data.frame(datosDePrecios) %>%

datosDeLugares <- datosDeLugares %>%
data.frame(datosDeLugares) %>%
mutate(place_id = as.numeric(place_id))
baseGeneral <- inner_join(datosDeLugares, datosDePrecios, by = "place_id")
baseGeneral <- baseGeneral %>%
select(Latitude, Longitude, place_id) %>%
mutate(Latitude = as.numeric(as.character(Latitude))) %>%
mutate(Longitude = as.numeric(as.character(Longitude)))
baseGeneral <- baseGeneral[1:100,]
baseGeneral <- apply(baseGeneral,1 ,function(x) {
google_reverse_geocode(location = c(x["Latitude"],x["Longitude"]), key =
key, result_type = "street_address")
})
Thank you for your help. :)
You can extract information from lists using either [[ notation, or $
If I take the example given in ?google_reverse_geocode to get a result
library(googleway)
res <- google_reverse_geocode(location = c(-37.81659, 144.9841),
result_type = c("street_address"),
location_type = "rooftop",
key = key)
The lat/lon information is in res$results$geometry$location
The formatted address is in res$results$formatted_address
And the place_id is in res$results$place_id
So you can create your data.frame from these elements
data.frame(
lat = res$results$geometry$location$lat,
lon = res$results$geometry$location$lng,
formatted_address = res$results$formatted_address,
place_id = res$results$place_id
)
If you had multiple lists of results, then the process is similar, but you need to wrap it in an *apply function (or whatever looping mechanism you prefer)
## a list of locations
locations <- list(c(-37.81659, 144.9841), c(-37.81827, 144.9671))
## generating the reverse geocode for each location
lst_res <- lapply(locations, function(x){
google_reverse_geocode(location = x, key = key)
})
Here, lst_res is a list of all the results from the geocoding function, so you can iterate over it to extract the relevant parts
## now we can extract the information
lst_df <- lapply(lst_res, function(x){
data.frame(
lat = x[['results']][['geometry']][['location']][['lat']],
lon = x[['results']][['geometry']][['location']][['lng']],
formatted_address = x[['results']][['formatted_address']],
place_id = x[['results']][['place_id']]
)
})
Here, lst_df is a list of data.frames. If you want to join them into one single data.frame you can
df <- do.call(rbind, lst_df)
## et voila!
head(df)
