LocationIQ Reverse GeoCoder

What is it?

This script uses the locationIQ API to extract address information from a pair of latitude and longitude coordinates and saves it as a .csv report.

Configuration

There is a minimal configuration to be done using the .env file.

• LOCATIONIQ_API_KEY: Key used for geo-queries
• OVERRIDE: Whether or not an existing report file should be overwritten (default: true)
• SLEEP_TIMER: Back-off-timer after a failed query to prevent too many queries in a too short time frame
• DELIMITER_IN: Delimiter used in input .csv file
• DELIMITER_OUT: Delimiter which should be used for writing the report .csv file
