# Geospatial & Mapping API Clients Comprehensive Rust client module for geospatial and mapping APIs, integrated with RuVector's semantic vector framework. ## Overview This module provides async clients for four major geospatial data sources: 1. **NominatimClient** - OpenStreetMap geocoding and reverse geocoding 2. **OverpassClient** - OSM data queries using Overpass QL 3. **GeonamesClient** - Worldwide place name database 4. **OpenElevationClient** - Elevation data lookup All clients convert API responses to `SemanticVector` format for RuVector discovery and analysis. ## Features - ✅ **Async/await** with Tokio runtime - ✅ **Strict rate limiting** (especially Nominatim 1 req/sec) - ✅ **User-Agent headers** for OSM services (required by policy) - ✅ **SemanticVector integration** with geographic metadata - ✅ **Comprehensive tests** with mock responses - ✅ **GeoJSON handling** where applicable - ✅ **Retry logic** with exponential backoff - ✅ **GeoUtils integration** for distance calculations ## Installation Add to your `Cargo.toml`: ```toml [dependencies] ruvector-data-framework = "0.1.0" tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] } ``` ## Usage ### 1. NominatimClient (OpenStreetMap Geocoding) **Rate Limit**: 1 request/second (STRICTLY ENFORCED) ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::NominatimClient; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let client = NominatimClient::new()?; // Geocode: Address → Coordinates let results = client.geocode("1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC").await?; for result in results { println!("Lat: {}, Lon: {}", result.metadata.get("latitude").unwrap(), result.metadata.get("longitude").unwrap() ); } // Reverse geocode: Coordinates → Address let results = client.reverse_geocode(48.8584, 2.2945).await?; for result in results { println!("Address: {}", result.metadata.get("display_name").unwrap()); } // Search places let results = client.search("Eiffel Tower", 5).await?; println!("Found {} places", results.len()); Ok(()) } ``` **Metadata Fields**: - `place_id`, `osm_type`, `osm_id` - `latitude`, `longitude` - `display_name`, `place_type` - `importance` - `city`, `country`, `country_code` (if available) ### 2. OverpassClient (OSM Data Queries) **Rate Limit**: ~2 requests/second (conservative) ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::OverpassClient; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let client = OverpassClient::new()?; // Find nearby POIs let cafes = client.get_nearby_pois( 48.8584, // Eiffel Tower lat 2.2945, // Eiffel Tower lon 500.0, // 500 meters "cafe" // amenity type ).await?; println!("Found {} cafes nearby", cafes.len()); // Get road network in bounding box let roads = client.get_roads( 48.85, 2.29, // south, west 48.86, 2.30 // north, east ).await?; println!("Found {} road segments", roads.len()); // Custom Overpass QL query let query = r#" [out:json]; node["amenity"="restaurant"](around:1000,40.7128,-74.0060); out; "#; let results = client.query(query).await?; Ok(()) } ``` **Metadata Fields**: - `osm_id`, `osm_type` - `latitude`, `longitude` - `name`, `amenity`, `highway` - `osm_tag_*` (all OSM tags preserved) **Common Amenity Types**: - `restaurant`, `cafe`, `bar`, `pub` - `hospital`, `pharmacy`, `school` - `bank`, `atm`, `post_office` - `park`, `parking`, `fuel` ### 3. GeonamesClient (Place Name Database) **Rate Limit**: ~0.5 requests/second (free tier: 2000/hour) **Authentication**: Requires username from [geonames.org](http://www.geonames.org/login) ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::GeonamesClient; use std::env; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let username = env::var("GEONAMES_USERNAME")?; let client = GeonamesClient::new(username)?; // Search places by name let results = client.search("Paris", 10).await?; for result in results { println!("{} ({}, pop: {})", result.metadata.get("name").unwrap(), result.metadata.get("country_name").unwrap(), result.metadata.get("population").unwrap() ); } // Get nearby places let nearby = client.get_nearby(48.8566, 2.3522).await?; println!("Found {} nearby places", nearby.len()); // Get timezone let tz = client.get_timezone(40.7128, -74.0060).await?; if let Some(result) = tz.first() { println!("Timezone: {}", result.metadata.get("timezone_id").unwrap()); } // Get country information let info = client.get_country_info("US").await?; if let Some(result) = info.first() { println!("Capital: {}", result.metadata.get("capital").unwrap()); println!("Population: {}", result.metadata.get("population").unwrap()); } Ok(()) } ``` **Metadata Fields**: - `geoname_id`, `name`, `toponym_name` - `latitude`, `longitude` - `country_code`, `country_name` - `admin_name1` (state/province) - `feature_class`, `feature_code` - `population` **Country Info Fields**: - `capital`, `population`, `area_sq_km`, `continent` ### 4. OpenElevationClient (Elevation Data) **Rate Limit**: ~5 requests/second **Authentication**: None required ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::OpenElevationClient; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let client = OpenElevationClient::new()?; // Single point elevation let result = client.get_elevation(27.9881, 86.9250).await?; // Mt. Everest if let Some(point) = result.first() { println!("Elevation: {} meters", point.metadata.get("elevation_m").unwrap()); } // Batch elevation lookup let locations = vec![ (40.7128, -74.0060), // NYC (48.8566, 2.3522), // Paris (35.6762, 139.6503), // Tokyo ]; let results = client.get_elevations(locations).await?; for result in results { println!("Lat: {}, Lon: {}, Elevation: {} m", result.metadata.get("latitude").unwrap(), result.metadata.get("longitude").unwrap(), result.metadata.get("elevation_m").unwrap() ); } Ok(()) } ``` **Metadata Fields**: - `latitude`, `longitude` - `elevation_m` (meters above sea level) ## Geographic Utilities All clients use `GeoUtils` for distance calculations: ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::GeoUtils; // Calculate distance between two points (Haversine formula) let distance_km = GeoUtils::distance_km( 40.7128, -74.0060, // NYC 51.5074, -0.1278 // London ); println!("NYC to London: {:.2} km", distance_km); // ~5570 km // Check if point is within radius let within = GeoUtils::within_radius( 48.8566, 2.3522, // Paris center 48.8584, 2.2945, // Eiffel Tower 10.0 // 10 km radius ); println!("Eiffel Tower within 10km of Paris: {}", within); // true ``` ## Rate Limiting All clients implement strict rate limiting to respect API policies: | Client | Rate Limit | Enforcement | |--------|------------|-------------| | NominatimClient | 1 req/sec | **STRICT** (Mutex-based timing) | | OverpassClient | ~2 req/sec | Conservative delay | | GeonamesClient | ~0.5 req/sec | Conservative (2000/hour limit) | | OpenElevationClient | ~5 req/sec | Light delay | ### Nominatim Rate Limiting Nominatim uses a **strict rate limiter** that ensures exactly 1 request per second: ```rust // Internal rate limiter tracks last request time // Automatically waits if needed before each request client.geocode("Paris").await?; // Executes immediately client.geocode("London").await?; // Waits ~1 second if needed ``` **IMPORTANT**: Violating Nominatim's 1 req/sec policy can result in IP blocking. The client enforces this automatically. ## SemanticVector Integration All responses are converted to `SemanticVector` format: ```rust pub struct SemanticVector { pub id: String, // "NOMINATIM:way:12345" pub embedding: Vec, // 256-dim semantic embedding pub domain: Domain, // Domain::CrossDomain pub timestamp: DateTime, // When data was fetched pub metadata: HashMap, // Geographic metadata } ``` This allows geospatial data to be: - Stored in RuVector's vector database - Searched semantically - Combined with other domains (climate, finance, etc.) - Analyzed for cross-domain patterns ## Error Handling All clients use the framework's `Result` type: ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::{NominatimClient, FrameworkError, Result}; async fn example() -> Result<()> { let client = NominatimClient::new()?; match client.geocode("Invalid Address").await { Ok(results) => { println!("Found {} results", results.len()); } Err(FrameworkError::Network(e)) => { eprintln!("Network error: {}", e); } Err(e) => { eprintln!("Other error: {}", e); } } Ok(()) } ``` ## Testing Run the test suite: ```bash # Run all geospatial tests cargo test geospatial # Run specific client tests cargo test nominatim cargo test overpass cargo test geonames cargo test elevation # Run integration tests with mocked responses cargo test --test geospatial_integration ``` Run the demo: ```bash # Basic demo (skips GeoNames without username) cargo run --example geospatial_demo # Full demo with GeoNames GEONAMES_USERNAME=your_username cargo run --example geospatial_demo ``` ## Best Practices ### 1. Respect Rate Limits ```rust // ✅ Good: Use the client's built-in rate limiting for address in addresses { let results = client.geocode(address).await?; // Rate limiting is automatic } // ❌ Bad: Don't try to bypass rate limiting for address in addresses { tokio::spawn(async move { client.geocode(address).await // Violates rate limits! }); } ``` ### 2. Cache Results ```rust use std::collections::HashMap; struct GeocodingCache { cache: HashMap>, client: NominatimClient, } impl GeocodingCache { async fn geocode(&mut self, address: &str) -> Result> { if let Some(cached) = self.cache.get(address) { return Ok(cached.clone()); } let results = self.client.geocode(address).await?; self.cache.insert(address.to_string(), results.clone()); Ok(results) } } ``` ### 3. Handle Errors Gracefully ```rust async fn batch_geocode(client: &NominatimClient, addresses: Vec<&str>) -> Vec> { let mut results = Vec::new(); for address in addresses { match client.geocode(address).await { Ok(mut vecs) => results.push(vecs.pop()), Err(e) => { tracing::warn!("Geocoding failed for '{}': {}", address, e); results.push(None); } } } results } ``` ### 4. Use Appropriate Clients ```rust // ✅ Use Nominatim for address lookup client.geocode("1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW").await?; // ✅ Use Overpass for POI search client.get_nearby_pois(lat, lon, radius, "restaurant").await?; // ✅ Use GeoNames for place name search client.search("Paris").await?; // ✅ Use OpenElevation for terrain analysis client.get_elevations(hiking_trail_points).await?; ``` ## Advanced Usage ### Cross-Domain Discovery Combine geospatial data with other domains: ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::{ NominatimClient, UsgsEarthquakeClient, NativeDiscoveryEngine, NativeEngineConfig, }; async fn earthquake_location_analysis() -> Result<()> { let geo_client = NominatimClient::new()?; let usgs_client = UsgsEarthquakeClient::new()?; // Get recent earthquakes let earthquakes = usgs_client.get_recent(4.0, 7).await?; // Create discovery engine let config = NativeEngineConfig::default(); let mut engine = NativeDiscoveryEngine::new(config); // Add earthquake data for eq in earthquakes { engine.add_vector(eq); } // Add nearby cities for each earthquake for eq in &earthquakes { let lat: f64 = eq.metadata.get("latitude").unwrap().parse()?; let lon: f64 = eq.metadata.get("longitude").unwrap().parse()?; let nearby = geo_client.reverse_geocode(lat, lon).await?; for place in nearby { engine.add_vector(place); } } // Detect cross-domain patterns let patterns = engine.detect_patterns(); println!("Found {} patterns linking earthquakes to locations", patterns.len()); Ok(()) } ``` ### Geofencing ```rust use ruvector_data_framework::GeoUtils; struct Geofence { center_lat: f64, center_lon: f64, radius_km: f64, } impl Geofence { fn contains(&self, lat: f64, lon: f64) -> bool { GeoUtils::within_radius( self.center_lat, self.center_lon, lat, lon, self.radius_km ) } async fn find_pois(&self, client: &OverpassClient, amenity: &str) -> Result> { client.get_nearby_pois( self.center_lat, self.center_lon, self.radius_km * 1000.0, // Convert km to meters amenity ).await } } // Usage let downtown = Geofence { center_lat: 40.7589, center_lon: -73.9851, radius_km: 2.0, }; if downtown.contains(40.7614, -73.9776) { println!("Point is within downtown area"); } let restaurants = downtown.find_pois(&overpass_client, "restaurant").await?; ``` ## API Reference See the [source code](../src/geospatial_clients.rs) for complete API documentation. ## Contributing When contributing geospatial client improvements: 1.
