# Picarta-API

[Picarta.ai](https://picarta.ai) Image Geolocalization API 🌍🔍

### Overview

The Picarta Image Geolocalization [API](https://picarta.ai/api) allows users to localize images and obtain predictions about their geographic location based on their content and/or embedded metadata. Users can provide an image either from a local file or via a URL and receive predictions about the location depicted in the image. The API returns information such as city, province, country, GPS coordinates, and confidence scores for each prediction.

### Authentication

To access the [API](https://picarta.ai/api), users need to provide an API token in the request headers. Users can obtain an API token by registering on the [Picarta](https://picarta.ai) website.

### Installation

To install the `picarta` package, use pip:

```bash
pip install picarta
```

### Usage

#### Request Format

The API accepts HTTP POST requests with a JSON payload containing the following parameters:

- `TOKEN`: User's API token.
- `IMAGE`: image path or URL of the image to localize.
- `TOP_K` (Optional): Number of top predictions to return (default is 10, maximum is 100).
- `Center_LATITUDE` (Optional): Latitude of the center of the search area.
- `Center_LONGITUDE` (Optional): Longitude of the center of the search area.
- `RADIUS` (Optional): Radius of the search area around the center point in kilometers.

#### Example Request using the `picarta` Package

```python
from picarta import Picarta

api_token = "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
localizer = Picarta(api_token)

# Geolocate a local image
result = localizer.localize(img_path="/path/to/local/image.jpg")

print(result)

# Geolocate an image from URL with optional parameters for a specific location search
result = localizer.localize(
img_path="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/San_Gimignano_03.jpg",
top_k=10,
center_latitude=43.464,
center_longitude=11.038,
radius=100)

print(result)

```

#### Example Request without `picarta` Package

```python
import requests
import json
import base64

url = "https://picarta.ai/classify"
api_token = "API_TOKEN"
top_k = 3
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

# Read the image from a local file or URL
with open("path/to/local/image.jpg", "rb") as image_file:
img_path = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')

# OR

# img_path = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/San_Gimignano_03.jpg"

# Optional parameters for a specific location search
center_latitude, center_longitude, radius = None, None, None

payload = {"TOKEN": api_token,
"IMAGE": img_path,
"TOP_K": top_k,
"Center_LATITUDE": center_latitude,
"Center_LONGITUDE": center_longitude,
"RADIUS": radius}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)

if response.status_code == 200:
result = response.json()
print(result)
else:
print("Request failed with status code:", response.status_code)
print(response.text)

```
#### Response Format
The API returns a JSON object containing geographic location results, including metadata about the image and a dictionary of topk predictions.

#### Example API Response

```json

}
}
}
```

#### Additional Notes

- `topk_predictions_dict` is presented in the second version of the API.
- `topk_predictions_dict[1]` is equal to province, ai_country, city, ai_lat, ai_lon, and ai_confidence. (It shows the top 1 result, which was in the first version of the API).
- The API could also return the following values if the EXIF data exists in the images:
- `exif_lat`: Latitude from EXIF metadata.
- `exif_lon`: Longitude from EXIF metadata.
- `exif_country`: Country name from EXIF metadata.
