Reverse Geocode takes a latitude / longitude coordinate and returns the country and city. Example usage:
python
>>> import reverse_geocode >>> coordinates = (-37.81, 144.96), (31.76, 35.21) >>> reverse_geocode.search(coordinates) [{'city': 'Melbourne', 'country_code': 'AU', 'country': 'Australia'}, {'city': 'Jerusalem', 'country_code': 'IL', 'country': 'Israel'}]
The module has a set of known geocoded locations and uses a k-d tree to efficiently find the nearest neighbour. This can be useful when you need to reverse geocode a large number of coordinates so a web API is not practical.
As this is a point based and not a polygon based lookup it will only give a rough idea of the location/city
Supports python 2 & 3:
bash
pip install reverse-geocode pip3 install reverse-geocode
