closecityΒΆ

Python client for the Close API (api.close.city). Get travel times from every US census block to nearby places, on foot, by bike, and by public transit. This is the data behind close.city.

from closecity import Client

# The key (ck_live_) comes from https://account.close.city
close = Client("ck_live_your_key")   # use your own key here

# Routes with geometry return a GeoDataFrame, ready to map:
groceries = close.pois_search(lat = 41.823, lon = -71.412, radius_m = 1500)
groceries.plot()

Results are tabular by default: a GeoDataFrame where geometry applies, a plain DataFrame otherwise. Install with pip install closecity. The catalog and lookup routes are free; the data routes need a key from account.close.city.
