geocode-csv: Geocode a CSV file using libpostal or the Smarty API(This project is not associated with Smarty.)
WARNING: This project geocodes CSV files thousands of rows per second, which can use up your Smarty quota very quickly. This may cost you money.
If you have a CSV file that appears as follows:
csv
name,street1,street2,city,state,zip
Resident,1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,,Washington DC,20500
...and an address_spec.json file that appears as follows:
json
{
"geocoded": {
"street": ["street1", "street2"],
"city": "city",
"state": "state",
"zipcode": "zip"
}
}
...then you can geocode it using:
```sh
export SMARTYAUTHID=... export SMARTYAUTHTOKEN=...
geocode-csv --spec address_spec.json < in.csv > out.csv ```
This will add a series of columns starting with geocoded_, which will contain various postal delivery information, plus estimated latitude and longitude. If geocoding succeeds, geocode-csv will return 0. If it fails, it will return a non-zero error code and print a human-readable error message to standard error.
You can geocode multiple addresses per row as follows:
json
{
"geocoded_shipping": {
/* ... */
},
"geocoded_billing": {
/* ... */
}
}
This will insert two sets of columns, one beginning with geocoded_shipping_ and the other with geocoded_billing_.
You'll need to run:
bash
git submodule update --init
...to pull in the C++ source for libpostal.
You will also need to install protoc:
```bash
sudo apt install protobuf-compiler
brew install protobuf ```
We provide pre-built Mac binaries for Intel- and M1-based Macs. These binaries use "ad-hoc" signatures, so you may need to set appropriate security settings or run:
sh
