Usage

from_position(key, positions, ...)

Arguments

key

an API key obtained from what3words.

positions

either a vector containing a single latitude/longitude pair, or a list of vectors for vectorised operations.

...

further arguments to pass to httr's GET.

Value

A list containing the words, positions and language of those words.

See Also

from_position for the opposite operation.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Ask for a single set of words from the what3words API (note: this requires an API key.
# Don't actually use 'ANAPIKEY'.)
results <- from_position(key = "ANAPIKEY", positions = c(6.385336,-36.293769))
