API =head1 SYNOPSIS Provides a thin Perl interface to the Yahoo! Geocoding API. use Geo::Coder::Yahoo; my $geocoder = Geo::Coder::Yahoo->new(appid => 'my_app' ); my $location = $geocoder->geocode( location => 'Hollywood and Highland, Los Angeles, CA' ); =head1 OFFICIAL API DOCUMENTATION Read more about the API at L. Yahoo! says that this API is deprecated and suggest using the placefinder API instead. There's a module for that in L. See also L. =head1 PROXY SETTINGS We use the standard proxy setting environment variables via LWP. See the LWP documentation for more information. =head1 METHODS =head2 new $geocoder = Geo::Coder::Yahoo->new(appid => $appid) $geocoder = Geo::Coder::Yahoo->new( appid => $appid, on_error => sub { ... }, ua => LWP::UserAgent->new, ) Instantiates a new object. appid specifies your Yahoo Application ID. You can register at L. If you don't specify it here you must specify it when calling geocode. on_error specifies an error handler to be called if the HTTP response code does not indicate success. The subroutine is called with the geocode object as the first argument and the HTTP::Response object as the second. The return value from the subroutine is used as the return value from L. ua specifies the user agent object to use. If not set then a new L will be instanciated. =head2 geocode( location => $location ) Parameters are the URI arguments documented on the Yahoo API page (location, street, city, state, zip). You usually just need one of them to get results. C returns a reference to an array of results (an arrayref). More than one result may be returned if the given address is ambiguous. Each result in the arrayref is a hashref with data like the following example: { 'country' => 'US', 'longitude' => '-118.3387', 'state' => 'CA', 'zip' => '90028', 'city' => 'LOS ANGELES', 'latitude' => '34.1016', 'warning' => 'The exact location could not be found, here is the closest match: Hollywood Blvd At N Highland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028', 'address' => 'HOLLYWOOD BLVD AT N HIGHLAND AVE', 'precision' => 'address' } =over 4 =item precision The precision of the address used for geocoding, from specific street address all the way up to country, depending on the precision of the address that could be extracted. Possible values, from most specific to most general are: =over 4 =item address =item street =item zip+4 =item zip+2 =item zip =item city =item state =item country =back =item warning If the exact address was not found, the closest available match will be noted here. =item latitude The latitude of the location. =item longitude The longitude of the location. =item address Street address of the result, if a specific location could be determined. =item city City in which the result is located. =item state State in which the result is located. =item zip Zip code, if known. =item country Country in which the result is located. =back =head2 ua $ua = $geocoder->ua; $geocoder->ua( $new_ua ); Sets the user agent object to be used, if one is passed. Returns the user agent object. =head1 AUTHOR Ask Bjørn Hansen, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
