Unofficial Google Maps Geocoder library.
This API returns JSON-parsed data fetched from the Google Maps Geocoding API.
To use these functions, you must require the hl-geocoder
gem:
require 'hl-geocoder'
Before using the library, you must instantiate the class, providing your app's ID, for example:
geocoder = Geocoder.new('thIsIsnOtaReAlKeyOHuieIDGsad7892qe')
Replace geocoder
with whatever keyword you use to initialize the API.
geocoder.geocode(address)
- Geocode an address, town name, etc.geocoder.reverse_geocode(latitude, longitude)
- Reverse geocode an address (give coordinates instead of the place name).
See example.rb
for a usage example.
