Geo::Coder::Multimap - Geocode addresses with the Multimap Open API
use Geo::Coder::Multimap; my $geocoder = Geo::Coder::Multimap->new(apikey => 'Your API Key'); my $location = $geocoder->geocode( location => 'Hollywood and Highland, Los Angeles, CA, US' );
The Geo::Coder::Multimap
module provides an interface to the geocoding functionality of the Multimap Open API.
$geocoder = Geo::Coder::Multimap->new(apikey => 'Your API Key')
Creates a new geocoding object.
An API key can be obtained here: https://www.multimap.com/openapi/signup/.
Accepts an optional ua parameter for passing in a custom LWP::UserAgent object.
$location = $geocoder->geocode(location => $loc) $location = $geocoder->geocode(location => $loc, country => $code) @locations = $geocoder->geocode(location => $loc)
The location
string should either include the country or the country
paramter should be given. Note, the country
parameter will produce better results in most cases.
In scalar context, this method returns the first location result; and in list context it returns all locations results.
Each location result is a hashref; a typical example looks like:
{ 'geocode_quality' => '3a', 'point' => { 'lat' => '34.10156', 'lon' => '-118.33872' }, 'zoom_factor' => 14, 'address' => { 'postal_code' => '90028', 'country_code' => 'US', 'areas' => [ 'HOLLYWOOD', 'CA' ], 'display_name' => 'HOLLYWOOD, CA, 90028' }, 'geocode_score' => '0.409' }
$ua = $geocoder->ua() $ua = $geocoder->ua($ua)
Accessor for the UserAgent object.
