Python GeoPy Package: Get the city, state and country name of a specified latitude and longitude

Default Options Object (Nominatim API): Exercise-6 with Solution

Write a Python function to get the city, state and country name of a specified latitude and longitude using Nominatim API and Geopy package.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent="geoapiExercises")
def city_state_country(coord):
    location = geolocator.reverse(coord, exactly_one=True)
    address = location.raw['address']
    city = address.get('city', '')
    state = address.get('state', '')
    country = address.get('country', '')
    return city, state, country
print(city_state_country("47.470706, -99.704723"))

Sample Output:

('Bowdon', 'North Dakota', 'USA')

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")
