pythongmaps 0.3.1

python-gmaps
Google Maps API client. For full API documentation go to:
http://python-gmaps.readthedocs.org

Why yet another python google maps client?
There are a bunch of libraries for Google Maps Web Service. To name a
few: * googlemaps *
google.directions
What’s wrong with them? googlemaps uses deprecated google API and forces
you to format your parameters instead of using native python datatypes.
And what about google.directions? Just take a look inside it’s code…
So here is code for new Google Maps API endpoints. It requires
requests, supports native
python datatypes and is sweetened with some syntactic sugar. Nothing
more. No bells and whistles.
Any contributions (code/issues) are welcome.

Instalation
pip install python-gmaps

Usage
Just import API endpoint of your choice and start querying:
from gmaps import Geocoding
api = Geocoding()

api.geocode("somwhere")
api.reverse(51.123, 21.123)
If you need to use Google Maps API for Business then instantiate your
endpoint with api_key param
from gmaps import Geocoding
api = Geocoding(api_key='your_secret_api_key')
Each endpoint method raises adequate exception when status of query is
different than OK. It also unpacks results list from Google API
output dict so you have one key less to access but it does nothing more.
So if Google geocoding api outputs something like:
{
results: [
...
],
status: 'OK'
}
You will get only get list that was inside result value. At least
one element returned is always assured, otherwise
gmnaps.errors.NoResults exception is raised.
For each API endpoint you can specify: * default sensor value *
protocol (http/https) * api key (only for http)
Available endpoints: * Geocoding() * Directions() *
Timezone() * Elevation()
For detailed documentation of each endpoint refer to dosctrings or this
API documentation.
If you need list of available values for some parameters (like geocoding
components, languages, regions etc.) refer to Google Maps API
docs.
These values can change anytime so there is no reason to check for them
in this lib - they will be checked anyway.
