=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Geo::Parser::Text;

	# initialize with your host
	my $g = Geo::Parser::Text->new([geo_host]);

	# Scan text in $str for locations...
 	my $hashref = $g->geocode(scantext=>$str);

        # Geocode a single location from $str...
        my $hashref = $g->geocode(locate=>$str);
        #

	# Example...

	use Geo::Parser::Text;
	use Data::Dumper;
	my $g = Geo::Parser::Text->new('http://geocode.xyz');

	my $str = "The most important museums of Amsterdam are located on the Museumplein, located at the southwestern side of the Rijksmuseum.";
	my $ref = $g->geocode(scantext=>$str,strict=>1,region='NL'); #in strict mode will return top matches only using context aware parsing (which may be slower)
	print Dumper $ref;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Perl frontend for the geocode.xyz, geocoder.ca and addrs.xyz API.
It allows the programmer to extract locations containing street addresses, street intersections and city names along with their geocoded latitude,longitude from bodies of text such as microblogs or wikipedia entries. (It should work with any type of text, but dumping html text or paragraphs containing over 200 words, will slow down the response considerably. If you need faster parsing grab the geocode.xyz server image on the AWS, and run it on a faster server.
If you run your own instance, make sure to pass the instance ip address or domain name at invocation eg, Geo::Parser::Text->new($server). For North American locations use geolytica.com, and for Australia and New Zealand use addrs.xyz

The api also geocodes single locations (returning the location matched with the highest probability from a string of text. If you pass a latitude,longitude pair, it will reverse geocode that point)

For explanation on the API responses see http://geocode.xyz/api

=head2 METHODS

=head2 new

my $geo = new ( host => 'geocode.xyz');

Initialize with the default server. geocode.xyz for Europe, geocoder.ca for North America, addrs.xyz for Australia and New Zealand.

=head2 geocode

my $ref = $geo->geocode(locate=>'Paris France');

Set the text to be scanned or string to be geocoded and return the hash reference with the response.
Takes a hash of parameter names and values.
You are required to pass a hash to geocode with either the scantext or locate key set to the text you want to geocode/geoparse.
You may also pass other optional arguments as described in the API.
