How to get Address from Latitude & Longitude in Django GeoIP?

Question

I cannot see anything in their API to do this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/geoip/#geoip-api

Or should I just use Google API for Reverse Geocodi

Answer 1

Use geopy, it can handle multiple geocoders including googlev3.

from geopy.geocoders import GoogleV3
geolocator = GoogleV3()
location = geolocator.reverse("52.509669, 13.376294")
print(location.address)
>>> Potsdamer Platz, Mitte, Berlin, 10117, Deutschland, European Union

install with pip:

pip install geopy
