Query google geocoding API with python

Create your application’s API key:

Go to the Google API Console https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard
From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.
If the APIs & services page isn’t already open, open the left side menu and select APIs & services.
On the left, choose Credentials.
Click Create credentials and then select API key.

Enable Geocoding API:

Log in to the Google API Manager Console here: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
Click the Library link in the left sidebar
Select the project you created when you created your API Key for WP Google Maps (See the top arrow in the screenshot below)
Click the link to the Google Maps Geocoding API
Click Enable on the Google Maps Geocoding API window.

Verify your KEY in browser https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&key=your-key

Create geocode.py

import json

import time

import urllib.error

import urllib.request

import urllib.parse

api_file = 'your-key'

base_url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json"

def geoapi(address):

params = urllib.parse.urlencode({"address": address, "key": api_file})

url = f"{base_url}?{params}"

response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)

result = json.load(response)

return result

if __name__ == "__main__":

goecode = geoapi('3600 Steeles Ave E, Markham, ON')

print(goecode)

import json import time import urllib.error import urllib.request import urllib.parse api_file = 'your-key' base_url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json" def geoapi(address): params = urllib.parse.urlencode({"address": address, "key": api_file}) url = f"{base_url}?{params}" response = urllib.request.urlopen(url) result = json.load(response) return result if __name__ == "__main__": goecode = geoapi('3600 Steeles Ave E, Markham, ON') print(goecode)

import json
import time
import urllib.error
import urllib.request
import urllib.parse

api_file = 'your-key'
base_url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json"

def geoapi(address):
    params = urllib.parse.urlencode({"address": address, "key": api_file})
    url = f"{base_url}?{params}"
    response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
    result = json.load(response)
    return result

if __name__ == "__main__":
    goecode = geoapi('3600 Steeles Ave E, Markham, ON')
    print(goecode)

run it with python geocode.py

Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has
