node-geocoder v4.4.0
node-geocoder
Node library for geocoding and reverse geocoding. Can be used as a nodejs library
Installation (nodejs library)
npm install node-geocoder
Usage example
const NodeGeocoder = require('node-geocoder');
const options = {
provider: 'google',
// Optional depending on the providers
fetch: customFetchImplementation,
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY', // for Mapquest, OpenCage, APlace, Google Premier
formatter: null // 'gpx', 'string', ...
};
const geocoder = NodeGeocoder(options);
// Using callback
const res = await geocoder.geocode('29 champs elysée paris');
// output :
[
{
latitude: 48.8698679,
longitude: 2.3072976,
country: 'France',
countryCode: 'FR',
city: 'Paris',
zipcode: '75008',
streetName: 'Champs-Élysées',
streetNumber: '29',
administrativeLevels: {
level1long: 'Île-de-France',
level1short: 'IDF',
level2long: 'Paris',
level2short: '75'
},
provider: 'google'
}
];
Advanced usage (only google, here, mapquest, locationiq, and opencage providers)
const res = await geocoder.geocode({
address: '29 champs elysée',
country: 'France',
zipcode: '75008'
});
// OpenCage advanced usage example
const res = await geocoder.geocode({
address: '29 champs elysée',
countryCode: 'fr',
minConfidence: 0.5,
limit: 5
});
// Reverse example
const res = await geocoder.reverse({ lat: 45.767, lon: 4.833 });
// Batch geocode
const results = await geocoder.batchGeocode([
'13 rue sainte catherine',
'another address'
]);
// Set specific http request headers:
const nodeFetch = require('node-fetch');
const geocoder = NodeGeocoder({
provider: 'google',
fetch: function fetch(url, options) {
return nodeFetch(url, {
...options,
headers: {
'user-agent': 'My application <email@domain.com>',
'X-Specific-Header': 'Specific value'
}
});
}
});
Geocoder Providers (in alphabetical order)
agol

: OpenStreetMapGeocoder. Supports address geocoding and reverse geocoding. You can useoptions.language
andoptions.email
to specify a language and a contact email address.- For
geocode
, you can use an object as value, specifying one or several parameters - For
reverse
, you can use additional parameters - You should specify a specific
user-agent
orreferrer
header field as required by the OpenStreetMap Usage Policy - Set
options.osmServer
to use custom nominatim server. Example: you can setup local nominatim server by following these instructions and setoptions.osmServer: http://localhost:8000
to use local server.

obtained at PickPoint.- As parameter for
geocode
function you can use a string representing an address like "13 rue sainte catherine" or an object with parameters described in Forward Geocoding Reference. - For
geocode
function you should use an object where{lat, lon}
are required parameters. Additional parameters likezoom
are available, see details in Reverse Geocoding Reference.
- As parameter for

Playground
You can try node-geocoder here http://node-geocoder.herokuapp.com/
Command line tools
node-geocoder-cli
You can use node-geocoder-cli to geocode in shell
Extending node geocoder
You can add new geocoders by implementing the two methods geocode
and reverse
:
const geocoder = {
geocode: function(value, callback) { ... },
reverse: function(query, callback) { var lat = query.lat; var lon = query.lon; ... }
}
You can also add formatter implementing the following interface
const formatter = {
format: function(data) {
return formattedData;
}
};
Contributing
You can improve this project by adding new geocoders.
To run tests just npm test
.
To check code style just run npm run lint
