Backend: New new geocoding library #178

Open laredotornado opened 2 years ago

laredotornado commented 2 years ago

We are using the following GeoCoding library

geopy==1.21.0

for resolving addresses to latitude and lonitudes. However, this library now has a dependence on Google, which we would prefer not to use. We need to use a new library, which would fit in to the file directory/services/location_service.py in the "get_coords" method.

The only requirement is that this library be Python based and free to use, even if it is rate-limited.

New geocoding library is tested and in use with the current parse_coop_csv @laredotornado!

We are now using the OpenStreet Maps nominatim library Check the following for more information https://www.natasshaselvaraj.com/a-step-by-step-guide-on-geocoding-in-python/ https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/api/Overview/

There are two pushes. The first has the new code but is not properly described. The second push adds a line of documentation.

I've created the getGeoLoc object class. It functions correctly in parse_coop_csv.

LocationServices updated but not working yet

Fixed in '3.1-model-refactor'. Continues to use GeoPy but fetches data from Nominatim as opposed to Google.
