NAME WebService::Geocodio - A Perl interface to Geocod.io VERSION version 0.03 SYNOPSIS use 5.014; use WebService::Geocodio; use WebService::Geocodio::Location; my $geo = WebService::Geocodio->new( api_key => $ENV{GEOCODIO_API_KEY} ); # Wrigley Field my $loc = WebService::Geocodio::Location->new( number => 1060, postdirection => 'W', street => 'Addison', suffix => 'Street', city => 'Chicago', state => 'IL', ); # Could add more than one thing here, even bare strings are OK # 20050 = zip code in Washington DC $geo->add_location($loc, '20050'); # prints: # Chicago: 41.947205791667, -87.656316875 # Chicago: 41.947180613636, -87.657167363636 # Washington: 38.893311, -77.014647 map { say $_->city, ": ", $_->lat, ", ", $_->lng } $geo->geocode(); OVERVIEW This module is a fairly thin wrapper around the Geocod.io geocoding web service. This service currently only supports US based addresses at the moment. Both forward and reverse geocoding is supported. In my testing, the service is somewhat finicky about how addresses are presented and stored; please read the service API documentation thoroughly to make sure you're getting the best quality results from the service. You will need to obtain a free API key to use this library. All errors are fatal and reported by "confess". If you want more graceful error handling, you might want to try using Try::Tiny. ATTRIBUTES api_key This is the geocod.io API key. It is required. locations The list of locations you want to geocode. These can be bare strings (if you like) or you can use a fancy object like WebService::Geocodio::Location which will serialize itself to JSON automatically. fields You may request the following fields be included in the results: * cd Congressional District (for the current Congress) * cd113 Congressional District (for the 113th Congress which runs through 2015) * stateleg The state legislative divisions for this location. The results include both House and Senate, unless the location is unicameral like Nebraska or Washington D.C., then only a senate result is given. * timezone The timezone of this location, UTC offset and whether it observes daylight saving time. * school The unified or elementary/secondary school district identifiers for this location. METHODS add_location This method takes one or more locations and stores it in the locations attribute. show_locations Show the locations currently set for geocoding. clear_locations If you want to clear the current list of locations, use this method. add_field This method takes one or more fields to include in a result set. Valid fields are: * cd * cd113 * stateleg * timezone * school Fields that do not match these valid names are silently discarded. geocode Send the current list of locations to the geocod.io service. Returns undef if there are no locations stored. In a list context, returns a list of WebService::Geocodio::Location objects. In a scalar context, returns an arrayref of WebService::Geocodio::Location objects. The list of objects is presented in descending order of accuracy. reverse_geocode Send the current list of latitude, longitude pairs to the geocod.io service. Returns undef if there are no locations stored. In a list context, returns a list of WebService::Geocodio::Location objects. In scalar context, returns an arrayref of WebService::Geocodio::Location objects. The list of objects is presented in descending order of accuracy.
