**Note**: Google changed [StreetView API pricing](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/usage-and-billing) and a billing plan may be required (checked March 5, 2019).

## Install

1. Install [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. Install [google_streetview](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/google-streetview) via `pip`

```
pip install google_streetview
```

For the latest developer version, see [Developer Install](https://github.com/rrwen/google_streetview/blob/master/NOTES.rst#developer-install).

## Usage

For help in the console:

```
google_streetview -h
```

Ensure that a [Google API developer key](https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/auth/api-keys) is set:

```
google_streetview -s key="your_dev_key"
```

Search street view for latitude and longitude `46.414382,10.013988`:

```
google_streetview "46.414382,10.013988"
```

Save images to a directory:

```
google_streetview --location="46.414382,10.013988" --save_downloads=downloads
```

Obtain a 360 panorama by rotating the camera ``heading`` given a 90 degree field of vision `fov`::

```
google_streetview --location="46.414382,10.013988" --fov=90 --heading=0;90;180;270
```

Use as a Python module:

```python

# Import google_streetview for the api module
import google_streetview.api

# Define parameters for street view api
params = [{
'size': '600x300', # max 640x640 pixels
'location': '46.414382,10.013988',
'heading': '151.78',
'pitch': '-0.76',
'key': 'your_dev_key'
}]

# Create a results object
results = google_streetview.api.results(params)

# Download images to directory 'downloads'
results.download_links('downloads')
```
