## Scripts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **gcoder.py** - Takes an address on the command line and returns its latitude and longitude.
|
|
|
|
|
May use one of four different geocoding engines.
|
|
|
|
|
* **dcalc.py** - Takes an address on the command line and returns its latitude and longitude,
|
|
|
|
|
distance from the VMware Carbon Black Boulder office, and projected drive time to the
|
|
|
|
|
Boulder office. Uses Google APIs.
|
|
|
|
|
* **batch_distance.py** - Same as dcalc, but uses CSV files for input and output.

## Configuration File
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All scripts make use of a configuration file, called `geoapi.ini` by default, that contains the
|
|
|
|
|
API keys. Copy the file `geoapi.ini.template` and add your API keys. You can also specify a different
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file with the `-C` or `--config` option to each script.
