python-location-lookup

A beginner-friendly Python script that uses the OpenGeo API to fetch detailed geolocation information based on a user-provided address.

This script was written as a part of my learning journey while studying Python, and it demonstrates how to work with HTTP requests, JSON data, and external APIs.

  • Display name
  • Latitude and longitude
  • Result type (e.g. "university", "city")
  • Time zone
  • Plus code
