## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 23/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 8, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4615, "days_push": 865, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A simple and consistent Python geocoding library that provides a unified interface to many geocoding providers such as Google, Bing, OpenCage, ArcGIS, TomTom, and HERE. It supports forward and reverse geocoding, house address lookup, IP address geolocation, and includes a command-line interface.

## Use cases
- convert addresses to latitude and longitude in python
- reverse geocode coordinates to addresses
- geocode ip addresses to locations
- use one api for multiple geocoding providers like google and bing
- geocode from the command line
- get bounding boxes for geocoded locations

## When to choose
- you need a single consistent python api across many geocoding providers
- you want quick forward/reverse geocoding or ip lookup without parsing provider-specific
- you want a lightweight library with a cli for ad-hoc geocoding

## When to avoid
- you need heavy-duty batch geocoding at scale with rate-limit handling and caching
- you need offline geocoding without external provider apis
- you need actively developed features - the project is largely in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: geospatial, http-client, cli
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: geocoding, forward-geocoding, reverse-geocoding, ip-geolocation, multi-provider, maps, geospatial
