The library provides three main functions: local conversion between Placekeys and latitude-longitude pairs or H3 indices (no network calls required), distance calculations between Placekeys, and an API client for batch geocoding through the Placekey service. The API client handles rate limiting automatically and integrates with pandas for bulk operations.\n\nThe package depends on h3, shapely, requests, ratelimit, backoff, boto3, and pandas. It's useful for teams that need a standardized location identifier across datasets or systems, or for accessing Placekey's public datasets stored in S3. The local conversion functions work offline, while the API client requires authentication and network access.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Placekey integration. The package is stable (no known vulnerabilities), has low install friction, and the permissive license poses no risk. However, the aging maintenance status (540 days since last release) and reliance on an external service for API features mean you should verify that the Placekey service itself meets your availability and support expectations before committing to it as a core dependency."},"id":"placekey","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/placekey","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/placekey.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/placekey/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"placekey","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Utilities for working with Placekeys"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":86504,"position":13857,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.36"}
