Automatically Retrieving Geographic Coordinates (Geocoding with Python)

In this tutorial, you will see how you can automate the process of retrieving geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude) of a list of cities, using Python with the help of a geocoder.

Geocoding is the process of transforming names, places or addresses into coordinates. The library that we will be using for this is called GeoPandas library. In this example, we are specifically going to cover the following aspects;

1. Reading data from a csv file using Pandas library
2. Using a geocoder to retrieve the geographic coordinates of different cities
3. Exception/ error handling
4. Adding the latitude and longitude coordinate information into separate columns and generating a new Pandas DataFrame

Is it possible to extract the polygon of a city or district in a country just by providing the city name and getting the polygon of that area?

Nice Video! just wanted to ask if we want to plot all these capital cities on a world map, what should be the code?

It is really an interesting and informative blog. Let me know how can I handle the multiple places by the same name such as to get the coordinates of the universities or hospital or police stations in a country. If you have any relevant script or video kindly share me. Thank you

Hey, just wanted to share my gratitude to you for making these videos. They are immensely helpful.
Your method of explanation is very convenient for a beginner like me.
I have one query though, I have been trying to install geopandas using the conda-forge using the command prompt but it fails everytime. I even made a new environment, other dependencies were installed. However, the geopandas was still missing.
Please help me out and provide with a solution.
