OLA Maps Python Package

A Python wrapper for the OLA Maps API, providing easy-to-use abstractions for developers.

Supported APIs

• Autocomplete
• Geocoding
• Reverse geocoding
• Directions

Usage

• Installation
• Authentication
• Client
• AsyncClient

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install olamaps

Authentication

There are two ways to authenticate:

1. Using API key

   os.environ["OLAMAPS_API_KEY"] = "your_api_key"
   
   # OR
   client = Client(api_key="your_api_key")

2. Or using client_id and client_secret

   os.environ["OLAMAPS_CLIENT_ID"] = "your_client_id"
   os.environ["OLAMAPS_CLIENT_SECRET"] = "your_client_secret"
   
   # OR
   client = Client(client_id="your_client_id", client_secret="your_client_secret")

Follow the same steps for AsyncClient as well.

Client

from olamaps import Client

# Initialize the client
client = Client()

# Autocomplete a query
results = client.autocomplete("Kempe")

# Geocode an address
results = client.geocode("MG Road, Bangalore")

# Reverse geocode a latitude-longitude pair
results = client.reverse_geocode(lat="12.9519408", lng="77.6381845")

# Get directions from one place to another
results = client.directions(
    origin="12.993103152916301,77.54332622119354",
    destination="12.972006793201695,77.5800850011884",
)

# close the client
client.close()

Or you can use the context manager, in which case you don't need to close the client manually:

with Client() as client:
    results = client.autocomplete("Kempe")

AsyncClient

Usage is very similar to Client, except that all methods are coroutines:

from olamaps import AsyncClient

# Initialize the client
client = AsyncClient()

# use await for all methods
results = await client.autocomplete("Kempe")

# use await for closing the client
await client.close()

Also the context manager is async:

async with AsyncClient() as client:
    results = await client.autocomplete("Kempe")
