Geocoding
Description
Repeats
The number of scraped addresses you would like
API Key
Bing Maps API Key
Coordinates - coord1
First Coordinate (latitude,longitude)
Coordinates - coord2
Second Coordinate (latitude,longitude)
Filter - Zipcode
Saves only zipcodes that are equal to the entered zipcode (no filtering when empty)
Filter - Country
Saves only countries that are equal to the entered country (saves only German addresses in this example) e.g Germany not DE
How does it work?
C1 is your first coordinate and C2 the second. When you start our Geocoder with both coordinates entered in your config.json, the bot will randomly scrape addresses within the red box.
How do I get the coordinates?
Open Google Maps and right click on the point you want to get the coordinate of. Then click on "What's here?"
A small popup will open with the coordinate of the point, just copy and paste it into the bot.
How do I get a Bing Maps API Key?
Press on "Show key", copy and paste the key into the API Key section of your config.json in the GeoCoding folder.
Congrats, now you're ready to scrape your own random addresses! :)
Note - you may get duplicate addresses or postcodes, some sites filter by postcode (BSTN for example), here is how to remove them easily. (control and - key deletes whole rows).
