Install
-------

1. Install `Python <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_
2. Install `google_streetview <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/google-streetview>`__ via ``pip``

For the latest developer version, see `Developer Install <https://github.com/rrwen/google_streetview/blob/master/NOTES.rst#developer-install>`_.

Usage
-----

For help in the console::

google_streetview -h

Ensure that a `Google API developer key <https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/auth/api-keys>`__ is set::

google_streetview -s key="your_dev_key"

Search street view for latitude and longitude ``46.414382,10.013988``::

google_streetview "46.414382,10.013988"

Save images to a directory::

google_streetview --location="46.414382,10.013988" --save_downloads=downloads

Obtain a 360 panorama by rotating the camera ``heading`` given a 90 degree field of vision ``fov``::

google_streetview --location="46.414382,10.013988" --fov=90 --heading=0;90;180;270

Use as a Python module:

.. code-block:: python

# Import google_streetview for the api module
import google_streetview.api

# Define parameters for street view api
params = [{
'size': '600x300', # max 640x640 pixels
'location': '46.414382,10.013988',
'heading': '151.78',
'pitch': '-0.76',
'key': 'your_dev_key'
}]

# Create a results object
results = google_streetview.api.results(params)

# Download images to directory 'downloads'
results.download_links('downloads')
