R client for the BAN API
The banR package is a light R client for the BAN API. The Base Adresse Nationale (BAN) is an open database of French adresses, produced by OpenStreetMap, La Poste, the IGN and Etalab.
banR can be installed from Github (current version):
# install.packages("devtools")devtools::install_github("joelgombin/banR", build_vignettes = TRUE)
The CRAN version is out of date :
install.packages("banR")
banR allows to geocode lots of adresses in batch (the only hard limit is that, at the moment, the API only allows CSV files up to 50 MB). Please be gentle with the server though!
banR is designed to be used in a data exploration workflow, with a syntax ‘à la tidyverse‘:
library(dplyr)library(banR)data("paris2012")paris2012 %>%slice(1:100) %>%mutate(adresse = paste(numero, voie, nom),code_insee = paste0("751", arrondissement)) %>%geocode_tbl(adresse = adresse, code_insee = code_insee) %>%glimpse()#> Writing tempfile to.../tmp/Rtmp9YlNra/file147282c595535.csv#> If file is larger than 50 MB, it must be splitted#> Size is : 3 Kb#> SuccessOKSuccess: (200) OK#> Rows: 100#> Columns: 25#> $ arrondissement <chr> "06", "06", "06", "06", "06", "06", "06", "06", "06…#> $ bureau <chr> "09", "09", "09", "09", "09", "09", "09", "09", "09…#> $ numero <int> 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8…#> $ voie <chr> "RUE DE L", "RUE DE L", "RUE DE L", "RUE DE L", "RU…#> $ nom <chr> "ABBAYE", "ABBAYE", "ABBAYE", "ABBAYE", "ABBAYE", "…#> $ nb <int> 1, 1, 20, 2, 17, 2, 9, 15, 17, 8, 13, 6, 6, 3, 9, 1…#> $ ID <chr> "0609", "0609", "0609", "0609", "0609", "0609", "06…#> $ adresse <chr> "4 RUE DE L ABBAYE", "5 RUE DE L ABBAYE", "6 RUE DE…#> $ code_insee <chr> "75106", "75106", "75106", "75106", "75106", "75106…#> $ latitude <dbl> 48.85405, 48.85407, 48.85414, 48.85410, 48.85425, 4…#> $ longitude <dbl> 2.335715, 2.335172, 2.335352, 2.335041, 2.334903, 2…#> $ result_label <chr> "4 Rue de l’Abbaye 75006 Paris", "5 Rue de l’Abbaye…#> $ result_score <dbl> 0.97, 0.97, 0.97, 0.97, 0.97, 0.97, 0.97, 0.97, 0.9…#> $ result_type <chr> "housenumber", "housenumber", "housenumber", "house…#> $ result_id <chr> "75106_0002_00004", "75106_0002_00005", "75106_0002…#> $ result_housenumber <chr> "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "11", "12", "13", "14", "1…#> $ result_name <chr> "Rue de l’Abbaye", "Rue de l’Abbaye", "Rue de l’Abb…#> $ result_street <chr> NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA,…#> $ result_postcode <chr> "75006", "75006", "75006", "75006", "75006", "75006…#> $ result_city <chr> "Paris", "Paris", "Paris", "Paris", "Paris", "Paris…#> $ result_context <chr> "75, Paris, Île-de-France", "75, Paris, Île-de-Fran…#> $ result_citycode <chr> "75106", "75106", "75106", "75106", "75106", "75106…#> $ result_oldcitycode <chr> NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA,…#> $ result_oldcity <chr> NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA,…#> $ result_district <chr> "Paris 6e Arrondissement", "Paris 6e Arrondissement…
