node-geocoder

Test Status npm version

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)

  • openmapquest : Open MapQuestGeocoder (based on OpenStreetMapGeocoder). Supports address geocoding and reverse geocoding. Needs an apiKey
  • openstreetmap : OpenStreetMapGeocoder. Supports address geocoding and reverse geocoding. You can use options.language and options.email to specify a language and a contact email address.
  • pickpoint: PickPoint Geocoder. Supports address geocoding and reverse geocoding. You need to specify options.apiKey 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 like zoom are available, see details in Reverse Geocoding Reference.
  • smartyStreet: Smarty street geocoder (US only), you need to specify options.auth_id and options.auth_token

Fetch option

With the options.fetch you can provide your own method to fetch data. This method should be compatible with the Fetch API.

This allow you to specify a proxy to use, a custom timeout, specific headers, ...

Formatter

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.
