geonamesr πŸŒŽπŸ”

geonamesr is an R package developed using Rcpp, integrated with the Lucene++ project, designed to allow users to index and search data from Geonames locally. This package contains not only R functions as a standard package but also provides a Plumber REST API, making data more accessible and discoverable for R users.

Note: This is a hobby project created to learn more about Rcpp and Plumber.

Installation

You can install the development version of geonamesr from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("M3nin0/geonamesr")

You must have the Lucene++ installed in your environment. To learn more, check the Lucene++ build documentation.

Docker

For ease of use, geonamesr is also available as a Docker container. The provided Dockerfile simplifies deployment, and a docker-compose file is available for quick setup.

Running with Docker

docker-compose up -d

This command starts the geonamesr service, making it accessible via the plumber REST API at the /geonames route.

Usage

Below is a basic example of how to use geonamesr to index and search Geonames data.

library(geonamesr)

# Indexing data
index("allCountries.txt")

# Searching indexed data
search("asciiname:switzerland", size = 1)

Accessing the REST API

The plumber REST API exposes the /geonames route for searching indexed data.

Search Endpoint: http://localhost:5050/geonames?q=<search-query>

OpenAPI Documentation

The OpenAPI documentation is available under the /__docs__ route, providing detailed information about the API endpoints, parameters, and responses.
