Postal code geocoding and distance calculations

pgeocode is a Python library for high performance off-line querying of GPS coordinates, region name and municipality name from postal codes. Distances between postal codes as well as general distance queries are also supported. The used GeoNames database includes postal codes for 83 countries.

Currently, only queries within the same country are supported.

For additional documentation see pgeocode.readthedocs.io.

Installation

pgeocode requires Python 3.10+ as well as numpy and pandas packages. It can be installed with,

pip install pgeocode

Quickstart

Postal code queries

>>> import pgeocode

>>> nomi = pgeocode.Nominatim('fr')
>>> nomi.query_postal_code("75013")
postal_code               75013
country_code                 FR
place_name             Paris 13
state_name        Île-de-France
state_code                   11
county_name               Paris
county_code                  75
community_name            Paris
community_code              751
latitude                48.8322
longitude                2.3561
accuracy                      5

>>> nomi.query_postal_code(["75013", "69006"])
      postal_code place_name            state_name  latitude  longitude
0       75013   Paris 13         Île-de-France   48.8322     2.3561

Distance calculations

>>> dist = pgeocode.GeoDistance('fr')
>>> dist.query_postal_code("75013", "69006")
389.156
>>> dist.query_postal_code(["75013", "75014", "75015"], ["69006", "69005", "69004"])
array([ 389.15648697,  390.12577967,  390.49857655])

Geocoding format

The result of a geo-localistion query is a pandas.DataFrame with the following columns,

Configuration and defaults

Storage directory

Defaults to ~/.cache/pgeocode, it is the directory where data is downloaded for later consumption. It can be changed using the environment variable PGEOCODE_DATA_DIR, i.e. export PGEOCODE_DATA_DIR=/tmp/pgeocode_data.

Data sources

Data sources are provided as a list in the pgeocode.DOWNLOAD_URL variable. The default value is,

DOWNLOAD_URL = [
    "https://download.geonames.org/export/zip/{country}.zip",
    "https://symerio.github.io/postal-codes-data/data/geonames/{country}.txt",
]

Data sources are tried from first to last until one works. Here the second link is a mirror of the first.

It is also possible to extend this variable with third party data sources, as long as they follow the same format. See for instance postal-codes-data repository for examples of data files.
