from geolocation.google_maps import GoogleMaps
address = "New York City Wall Street 12"
google_maps = GoogleMaps(api_key='your_google_maps_key')
location = google_maps.search(location=address) # sends search to Google Maps.
print(location.all()) # returns all locations.
my_location = location.first() # returns only first location.
print(my_location.city)
print(my_location.route)
print(my_location.street_number)
print(my_location.postal_code)
for administrative_area in my_location.administrative_area:
print("{}: {}".format(administrative_area.area_type, administrative_area.name))
print(my_location.country)
print(my_location.country_shortcut)
print(my_location.formatted_address)
print(my_location.lat)
print(my_location.lng)
# reverse geocode
lat = 40.7060008
lng = -74.0088189
my_location = google_maps.search(lat=lat, lng=lng).first()More examples you should find here.
