Get address data from the Photon API to OpenStreetMap

Source: R/location_getSingleAddress_Photon.R

The Photon API is used get address data associated with the longitude and latitude. The following list of data is returned:

  • houseNumber

  • street

  • city

  • stateCode

  • stateName

  • postalCode

  • countryCode

  • countryName

The function makes an effort to convert both state and country Name into Code with codes defaulting to NA. Both Name and Code are returned so that improvements can be made in the conversion algorithm.

  longitude = NULL,

  baseUrl = "https://photon.komoot.io/reverse",
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

longitude

Single longitude in decimal degrees E.

latitude

Single latitude in decimal degrees N.
