# phl-geocode

A Node.js module for getting latitude and longitude coordinates for a Philadelphia addresses.

phl-geocode is based on the geolocation component of [Mark Headd](http://twitter.com/mheadd)'s [phlfindpolls gist](https://gist.github.com/4015200).

The module uses Philadelphia's [311 Mobile Data Service API](http://services.phila.gov/ULRS311).

## Getting Started

Install phl-geocode:

    npm install phl-geocode

Require and instantiate phl-geocode:

  

    var phlGeocode = require('phl-geocode')();

Default settings:

    

    {

      geoHost: 'http://services.phila.gov',

      locationPath: '/ULRS311/Data/Location/',

      minConfidence: 85

      responseBody: ''

    }

Overriding default settings on instantiation:

    var phlGeocode = require('phl-geocode')({

      minConfidence: 100

    });

## Example Usage

Get latitude and longitude coordinates for a Philadelpia address:

    phlGeocode.getCoordinates('1500 market street', function (err, data) {

      console.log(data);

      /* Example response:

      [ { address: '1500 MARKET ST',

        similarity: 100,

        latitude: 39.9521740263203,

        longitude: -75.1661518986459 },

      { address: '1500S MARKET ST',

        similarity: 99,

        latitude: 39.9521740263203,

        longitude: -75.1661518986459 } ]

      */
