In this article, we are going to write a python script to get the Zip code by using location using the Geopy module.geopy makes it easy for Python developers to locate the coordinates of addresses, cities, countries, and landmarks across the world.
To install the Geopy module, run the following command in your terminal.
pip install geopy
Approach:
- Import the Geopy module
- Initialize Nominatim API to get location from the input string.
- Get location with geolocator.geocode() function.
- Now extract the Zip data from the location instance.
Step-by-step implementation:
Step #1: Import module.
Python3
# import modulefrom geopy.geocoders import Nominatim |
Step #2: Make a Nominatim object and initialize Nominatim API with the geoapiExercises parameter.
Python3
# initialize Nominatim API geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent="geoapiExercises") |
Step #3: Now get a complete address with geocode().
Python3
place = "Boring road patna"location = geolocator.geocode(place)print(location) |
Output:
Boring Road, Digha, Patna, Patna Rural, Patna, Bihar, 800001, India
Step #4: Now get the information from the given list and parsed into a dictionary with raw function().
Python3
data = location.rawprint(data) |
Output:
Step #5: Now traverse the ZIP Code from a given dictionary.
Python3
loc_data = data['display_name'].split()print("Full Location")print(loc_data)print("Zip code : ",loc_data[-2]) |
Output:
Full implementation:
Python3
# import modulefrom geopy.geocoders import Nominatim # initialize Nominatim API geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent="geoapiExercises") # place input by geekplace = "Boring road patna"location = geolocator.geocode(place) # traverse the datadata = location.rawloc_data = data['display_name'].split()print("Full Location")print(loc_data)print("Zip code : ",loc_data[-2]) |
Output:
