file-geocoder

Geocodes a file (JSON or CSV). Requires a Google-style geocoder.

Examples

Geocode a JSON file, hit http://localhost:8080 (how to setup a local geocoder):

file-geocoder \
	-f myaddresses.json \
	-a Address,City,State,Zip # list of fields containing the address, in order

Geocode a CSV file, hit Google, throttle geocoding requests to 1 per second (read up on their usage limits):

file-geocoder \
	-f myaddresses.csv \
	-t csv \ # file type - specify if not json
	-a Address,City,State,Zip \ # list of fields containing the address, in order
	-h maps.googleapis.com \ # geocoding host
	-p 80 \ # geocoding port
	-s 1 # time (in seconds) to throttle the geocoding requests

Your laptop battery died before the geocoder finished. No problem. file-geocoder stores its work on a .db file. Let's resume the geocoding:

file-geocoder \
	-d myaddresses.db \ # database
	-a Address,City,State,Zip # list of fields containing the address, in order

Progress bar!

Install

npm install file-geocoder -g
