Overview

This library attempts to use the CURL extension to access the OpenCage Geocoding API. If CURL support is not available, the library falls back to using fopen wrappers.

To use the library you must either have the CURL extension compiled into your version of PHP. Alternatively configure the use of fopen wrappers via the allow_url_fopen directive in your php.ini.

Authentication

You need an API key, which you can sign up for here.

Tutorial

You can find a comprehensive tutorial for using this module on the OpenCage site.

Installation

With Composer

The recommended - and easiest way - to install is via Composer. Require the library in your project's composer.json file.

$ composer require opencage/geocode

Import the Geocoder class.

require "vendor/autoload.php";

The old fashioned way

See the file demo/geocode.php

Geocoding

$geocoder = new \OpenCage\Geocoder\Geocoder('YOUR-API-KEY');
$result = $geocoder->geocode('82 Clerkenwell Road, London');
print_r($result);

Reverse geocoding

$geocoder = new \OpenCage\Geocoder\Geocoder('YOUR-API-KEY');
$result = $geocoder->geocode('43.831,4.360'); # latitude,longitude (y,x)
print $result['results'][0]['formatted'];
// 3 Rue de Rivarol, 30020 Nîmes, France

Set optional parameters

See the full list at: https://opencagedata.com/api#optional-params

$result = $geocoder->geocode('6 Rue Massillon, 30020 Nîmes, France', [
    'language' => 'fr',
    'countrycode' => 'fr'
]);
if ($result && $result['total_results'] > 0) {
  $first = $result['results'][0];
  print $first['geometry']['lng'] . ';' . $first['geometry']['lat'] . ';' . $first['formatted'] . "\n";
  // 4.360081;43.8316276;6 Rue Massillon, 30020 Nîmes, Frankreich
}

Set a proxy URL

$geocoder->setProxy('http://proxy.example.com:1234');
$result = $geocoder->geocode("Brandenburger Tor, Berlin");
print_r($result['results'][0]['formatted']);
// Brandenburger Tor, Unter den Linden, 10117 Berlin, Germany
print_r($result['results'][0]['geometry']);
// Array
// (
//    [lat] => 52.5166047
//    [lng] => 13.3809897
