NAME

Geo::Coder::GeoApify - Provides a Geo-Coding functionality using https://www.geoapify.com/maps-api/

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

use Geo::Coder::GeoApify;

my $geo_coder = Geo::Coder::GeoApify->new(apiKey => $ENV{'GEOAPIFY_KEY'});
my $location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => '10 Downing St., London, UK');

DESCRIPTION

Geo::Coder::GeoApify provides an interface to https://www.geoapify.com/maps-api/, a free Geo-Coding database covering many countries.

METHODS

new

$geo_coder = Geo::Coder::GeoApify->new(apiKey => 'foo');

geocode

$location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => $location);

print 'Latitude: ', $location->{'features'}[0]{'geometry'}{'coordinates'}[1], "\n";
print 'Longitude: ', $location->{'features'}[0]{'geometry'}{'coordinates'}[0], "\n";

@locations = $geo_coder->geocode('Portland, USA');
print 'There are Portlands in ', join (', ', map { $_->{'state'} } @locations), "\n";

ua

Accessor method to get and set UserAgent object used internally. You can call env_proxy for example, to get the proxy information from environment variables:

$geo_coder->ua()->env_proxy(1);

You can also set your own User-Agent object:

use LWP::UserAgent::Throttled;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent::Throttled->new({ 'api.geoapify.com' => 2 });
$ua->env_proxy(1);
$geo_coder = Geo::Coder::GeoApify->new({ ua => $ua, apiKey => 'foo' });

reverse_geocode

my $address = $geo_coder->reverse_geocode(lat => 37.778907, lon => -122.39732);
print 'City: ', $address->{features}[0]->{'properties'}{'city'}, "\n";

Similar to geocode except it expects a latitude,longitude pair.
