Using a Configuration File

You can optionally use a configuration file that stores your API ID and Key in addition to any proxies you may need to use.

python-geoclient will look for a file called .nyc-developer.ini in your home directory. If on a windows machine, this directory is typically located in C:\Users\<MY-USERNAME>\.

A sample .nyc-developer.ini looks like this:

[GEOCLIENT]
id = my-app-id
key = my-app-key

[PROXIES]
http = http://user:password@host:port
https = http://user:password@host:port

Now using a Geoclient object is a little easier:

from geoclient import Geoclient
g = Geoclient()

g.address('1500', 'Madison Ave', 'Manhattan')
