Usage

You can find data from addresses:

try {
    $response = Geocode::make()->address('Saporischschja', 'de');
    if ($response) {
        echo $response->latitude();
        echo "<br>";
        echo $response->longitude();
        echo "<br>";
        echo $response->formattedAddress();
        echo "<br>";
    }
} catch (GeoException $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage();
}

// Output
// 35.139567
// 47.8388
// Saporischschja, Ukraine, 69061

Or from latitude/longitude:

try {
    $response = Geocode::make()->latLng(47.850437, 35.135653, 'en');
    if ($response) {
        echo $response->latitude();
        echo "<br>";
        echo $response->longitude();
        echo "<br>";
        echo $response->formattedAddress();
        echo "<br>";
    }
} catch (GeoException $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage();
}

// Output
// 47.850437
// 35.135653
// Volhohrads'ka St, 27, Zaporizhzhia, Zaporiz'ka oblast, Ukraine, 69000

If you need other data rather than formatted address, latitude, longitude, you can use the raw() method:

try {
    $response = Geocode::make()->latLng(40.7637931,-73.9722014);
    if ($response) {
        echo $response->raw()->address_components[8]['types'][0];
        echo $response->raw()->address_components[8]['long_name'];
    }
} catch (GeoException $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage();
}

// Output
// postal_code
// 10153
