Heya,
Last night, I pushed the first version of geocode-glib, a simple helper
API on top of Yahoo!'s Place Finder (the old Yahoo API in Geoclue is due
to be switched off, or should have been for a little while).
The current code is LGPLv2.1+, and there are probably some things to be
sorted out with regards to API keys, etc.
The current code uses json-glib, libsoup, and gvfs (for HTTP), though I
can remove the gvfs requirement if MeeGo/KDE people are interested in
the code.
There's async and sync APIs, and I will be adding code to support
Telepathy's own attributes (which don't quite match the Place Finder API
attributes).
Code:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/geocode-glib
Opinions, comments? Is somebody interested in working on a Nominatim
backend? (does anybody know how well it works?)
I would also be interested in ideas on how to export the bounding boxes
for matches.
Cheers
