Reverse geocode a lng/lat coordinate within a geojson `FeatureCollection` and return information about the containing country (polygon).
Basically, you can use any [geojson](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946) file (top level is a `FeatureCollection`) for reverse coding - set the environment variable `REVERSE_GEOCODE_DATA` to the geojson file. Only `Polygon` and `MultiPolygon` features will be used! If a point is found to be in a feature, the `properties` of that feature will be returned.
In other words, provide a geojson with postcode boundaries, and you can query for the postcode in which a coordinate is. Provide timezone boundaries and you can find the timezone for a coordinate. Be creative :).
The default shape data (contained within the package) is from [thematicmapping](http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php) (the simple shapes). It contains polygons representing one country with the following meta-data (`properties`):
```
FIPS String(2) FIPS 10-4 Country Code
ISO2 String(2) ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 Country Code
ISO3 String(3) ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3 Country Code
UN Short Integer(3) ISO 3166-1 Numeric-3 Country Code
NAME String(50) Name of country/area
AREA Long Integer(7) Land area, FAO Statistics (2002)
POP2005 Double(10,0) Population, World Population Prospects (2005)
REGION Short Integer(3) Macro geographical (continental region), UN Statistics
SUBREGION Short Integer(3) Geographical sub-region, UN Statistics
LON FLOAT (7,3) Longitude
LAT FLOAT (6,3) Latitude
```
Hence, you can use this package as an *offline reverse geocoder on the country level* (by default):
```python
In [1]: import geopip
In [2]: geopip.search(lng=4.910248, lat=50.850981)
Out[2]:
{'AREA': 0,
'FIPS': 'BE',
'ISO2': 'BE',
'ISO3': 'BEL',
'LAT': 50.643,
'LON': 4.664,
'NAME': 'Belgium',
'POP2005': 10398049,
'REGION': 150,
'SUBREGION': 155,
'UN': 56}
```
**NOTE**: Since the polygons for each country are quite simple, reverse geocoding at the borders of two countrys is **not** exact. Use polygons with higher resolution for these use cases (see [Data](#data)).
The `shapely` package will be used, if installed. Otherwise, a pure python implementation will be used (on the basis of [winding numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winding_number)). See [here](https://www.toptal.com/python/computational-geometry-in-python-from-theory-to-implementation), [here](http://geomalgorithms.com/a03-_inclusion.html) and [here](http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac/e-stuff/point_in_polygon.py) for more informations and example implementations. Espacially for larger features, the shapely implementation might give performance improvements (default shape data and 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, python3.6.2, cythonized version of [geohash-hilbert](https://github.com/tammoippen/geohash-hilbert)):
*Pure*:
```python
In [1]: import geopip
In [2]: geopip._geopip.p_in_polygon?
Signature: geopip._geopip.p_in_polygon(p, shp)
Docstring:
Test, whether point `p` is in shape `shp`.
Use the pure python implementation for this.
Parameters:
p: Tuple[float, float] Point (lng, lat) in WGS84.
shp: Dict[str, Any] Prepared shape dictionary from `geopip._pure.prepare()`.
Returns:
boolean: True, if p in shp, False otherwise
File: ~/repositories/geopip/geopip/_pure.py
Type: function
In [3]: %timeit geopip.search(4.910248, 50.850981)
25.6 µs ± 390 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
```
*Shapely*:
```python
In [1]: import geopip
In [2]: geopip_geopip.p_in_polygon?
Signature: geopip._geopip.p_in_polygon(p, shp)
Docstring:
Test, whether point `p` is in shape `shp`.
Use the shapely implementation for this.
Parameters:
p: Tuple[float, float] Point (lng, lat) in WGS84.
shp: Dict[str, Any] Prepared shape dictionary from `geopip._shapely.prepare()`.
Returns:
boolean: True, if p in shp, False otherwise
File: ~/repositories/geopip/geopip/_shapely.py
Type: function
In [3]: %timeit geopip.search(4.910248, 50.850981)
50 µs ± 601 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
```
For simple geojsons, the pure python implementation is faster, but on more complex polygons, the shapely implementation will win.
## Install
```sh
pip install geopip
```
If you require the extra speed, because you have many polygons and / or very detailed polygons, try installing geohash-hilbert with Cython extensions and / or have (vectorized) shapely installed.
```sh
# make sure to have GEOS library installed (including dev extensions)
pip install numpy 'shapely[vectorized]>=1.6'
pip install cython # for building geohash-hilbert's cython extension
pip install --upgrade geohash-hilbert
```

**NOTE**: shapefiles / gdb databases have to be transformed into geojson. One way is to use [fiona](https://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona). Assuming the gdb files are in the directory `/data/gdb`:
```python
fio insp /data/gdb
# a python shell opens
>>> import json
>>> features = []
>>> for feat in src:
... features += [feat]
...
>>> f = open('/data/gdb.geo.json', 'w')
>>> json.dump(dict(type='FeatureCollection', features=features), f)
>>> f.close()
```
Then the `gdb` will be transformed into a geojson file `gdb.geo.json`.
# Documentation
(*TODO* more)
Basically, there are the two functions `geopip.search` and `geopip.search_all` that perform the search in the provided `FeatureCollection`. Then there is the class `geopip.GeoPIP` that accepts a `FeatureCollection` either as a file or a dictionary and provides the same search functionality:
## `search`
```python
In [1]: import geopip
In [2]: geopip.search?
Signature: geopip.search(lng, lat)
Docstring:
Reverse geocode lng/lat coordinate within the features from `instance().shapes`.
Look within the features from the `instance().shapes` function for a polygon that
contains the point (lng, lat). From the first found feature the `porperties`
will be returned. `None`, if no feature containes the point.
Parameters:
lng: float Longitude (-180, 180) of point. (WGS84)
lat: float Latitude (-90, 90) of point. (WGS84)
Returns:
Dict[Any, Any] `Properties` of found feature. `None` if nothing is found.
File: ~/repositories/geopip/geopip/__init__.py
Type: function
```
## `search_all`
```python
In [1]: import geopip
In [2]: geopip.search_all?
Signature: geopip.search_all(lng, lat)
Docstring:
Reverse geocode lng/lat coordinate within the features from `instance().shapes`.
Look within the features from the `instance().shapes` function for all polygon that
contains the point (lng, lat). From all found feature the `porperties`
will be returned (more or less sorted from smallest to largest feature).
`None`, if no feature containes the point.
Parameters:
lng: float Longitude (-180, 180) of point. (WGS84)
lat: float Latitude (-90, 90) of point. (WGS84)
Returns:
Iterator[Dict[Any, Any]] Iterator for `properties` of found features.
File: ~/repositories/geopip/geopip/__init__.py
Type: function
```
## `GeoPIP`
```python
In [1]: import geopip
In [2]: geopip.GeoPIP?
Init signature: geopip.GeoPIP(self, *args, **kwargs)
Docstring:
GeoPIP: Geojson Point in Polygon (PIP)
Reverse geocode a lng/lat coordinate within a geojson `FeatureCollection` and
return information about the containing polygon.
Init docstring:
Provide the geojson either as a file (`filename`) or as a geojson
dict (`geojson_dict`). If none of both is given, it tries to load the
file pointed to in the environment variable `REVERSE_GEOCODE_DATA`. If the
variable is not set, a default geojson will be loaded (packaged):
http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php
During init, the geojson will be prepared (see pure / shapely implementation)
and indexed with geohashes.
Provide the parameters as kwargs!
Allowed parameters:
filename: str Path to a geojson file.
geojson_dict: Dict[str, Any] Geojson dictionary. `FeatureCollection` required!
File: ~/repositories/geopip/geopip/_geopip.py
Type: type
```
A `GeoPIP` object provides the same `search` and `search_all` functions.
