GeocodeJSON

GeocodeJSON packages are a collection of small utility to work with geocoding API such as Google Geocoding API, HERE Geocoding API, Opencage, etc... As well as self hosted solution like Mimirsbrunn.

These packages provide a simple inteface for geocoding addresses exposing the underlying APIs filtering capabilities while returning all response in a standard format: GeocodeJSON, a GeoJSON extension.

These packages leverage cross-fetch to work on both backend & frontend

@p-j/geocodejson-ban

Geocode & format to GeocodeJSON using the French "Base Adresse Nationale" API

Usage

import { geocode, parse, getFetchArgs } from '@p-j/geocodejson-ban'

// if you want to use your own fetch wrapper / http library
const { url, options } = getFetchArgs({
  q: 'Place de la République, Paris, France',
  limit: 1,
  postcode: '75011',
})
// url = 'https://api-adresse.data.gouv.fr/search?limit=1&postcode=75011&q=Place+de+la+R%C3%A9publique,+Paris,+France'
// options = { method: 'GET' }

// using cross-fetch; also adds the "query" property to the response
const rawResponseFromBANApi = await geocode({
  address: 'Place de la République, Paris, France',
  limit: 1,
})
