NAME

Geo::Coder::XYZ - Provides a Geo-Coding functionality using https://geocode.xyz

VERSION

Version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

      use Geo::Coder::XYZ;

      my $geo_coder = Geo::Coder::XYZ->new();
      my $location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => '10 Downing St., London, UK');

DESCRIPTION

Geo::Coder::XYZ provides an interface to geocode.xyz, a free Geo-Coding database covering many countries.

METHODS

new

    $geo_coder = Geo::Coder::XYZ->new();
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
    $ua->env_proxy(1);
    $geo_coder = Geo::Coder::XYZ->new(ua => $ua);

geocode

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

    print 'Latitude: ', $location->{'latt'}, "\n";
    print 'Longitude: ', $location->{'longt'}, "\n";

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

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;
    $geo_coder->ua(LWP::UserAgent::Throttled->new());

reverse_geocode

    $location = $geo_coder->reverse_geocode(latlng => '37.778907,-122.39732');

Similar to geocode except it expects a latitude/longitude parameter.
