Python GeoPy Package: Search the Street address, name from a given location

Default Options Object (Nominatim API): Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a Python program to search the Street address, name from a given location information using Nominatim API and Geopy package.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent="geoapiExercises")
ladd1 = "27488 Stanford Avenue, North Dakota"
print("Location address:",ladd1)
location = geolocator.geocode(ladd1)
print("Street address, street name: ")
print(location.address)
ladd2 = "380 New York St, Redlands, CA 92373"
print("\nLocation address:",ladd2)
location = geolocator.geocode(ladd2)
print("Street address, street name: ")
print(location.address)
ladd3 = "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW"
print("\nLocation address:",ladd3)
location = geolocator.geocode(ladd3)
print("Street address, street name: ")
print(location.address)

Sample Output:

Location address: 27488 Stanford Avenue, North Dakota
Street address, street name: 
Stanford Avenue, Bowdon, Wells County, North Dakota, 58418, USA

Location address: 380 New York St, Redlands, CA 92373

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
