NAME

Geo::Coder::TomTom - Geocode addresses with the TomTom Map Toolkit API

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Geo::Coder::TomTom;
my $geocoder = Geo::Coder::TomTom->new(apikey => 'Your API key');
my $location = $geocoder->geocode(
    location => 'De Ruijterkade 154, Amsterdam, NL'
);

DESCRIPTION

The Geo::Coder::TomTom module provides an interface to the TomTom Map Toolkit geocoding service.

METHODS

new


            

              
              
$geocoder = Geo::Coder::TomTom->new('Your API key')
$geocoder = Geo::Coder::TomTom->new(
    apikey => 'Your API key',
    # debug => 1,
)

Creates a new geocoding object.

Accepts the following named arguments:

  • apikey

    An API key (required)

    An API key can be obtained here: http://developer.tomtom.com/apps/mykeys

  • ua

    A custom LWP::UserAgent object. (optional)

  • compress

    Enable compression. (default: 1, unless debug is enabled)

  • debug

    Enable debugging. This prints the headers and content for requests and responses. (default: 0)

geocode


            

              
              
$location = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location)
@locations = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location)

In scalar context, this method returns the first location result; and in list context it returns all location results.

Each location result is a hashref; a typical example looks like:


            

              
              
{
    "latitude": 52.3773852,
    "longitude": 4.9094794,
    "geohash": "u173zxnbrhm0",
    "mapName": "TomTomMap",
    "houseNumber": "154",
    "type": "house",
    "street": "De Ruijterkade",
    "alternativeStreetName": [],
    "city": "Amsterdam",
    "district": "Amsterdam",
    "country": "The Netherlands",
    "countryISO3": "NLD",
    "postcode": "1011 AC",
    "formattedAddress": "De Ruijterkade 154, 1011 AC Amsterdam, Amsterdam, NL",
    "isCensusMicropolitanFlag": false,
    "widthMeters": 1,
    "heightMeters": 1,
    "score": 1.0,
    "confidence": 0.40665394,
    "iteration": 0
},

response


            

              
              
$response = $geocoder->response()

Returns an HTTP::Response object for the last submitted request. Can be used to determine the details of an error.

ua


            

              
              
$ua = $geocoder->ua()
$ua = $geocoder->ua($ua)

Accessor for the UserAgent object.
