Food Truck Finder

Project Description

This repository contains a Python script for finding a food-truck based on latitude and longitude coordinates that you can run in your shell!

Usage

Pre-requisites

This tool was built for Python 3. To set that up on your system, follow this guide. Once you have installed Python 3 you'll need to install a few supporting libraries for this script to function properly. To do so use these commands:

1. pip3 install sodapy - This library will be used for interacting with the San Francisco Open Data API.

Tool Usage

At the moment we support finding a food truck based on latitude and longitude search - we plan on adding functionality to find multiple food trucks based on those coordinates. But to actually use the tool, you can run a command like this from the directory of this script:

# Syntax
python3 findFoodTrucks.py 
    
    
     

# Example
python3 findFoodTrucks.py 37.7865580501799 -122.40103337534973

    
   

Don't worry if you forget to add the two command line arguments, if you do we'll prompt you for that information.

Project Road Map

1. Break latitude + longitude retrieval out into own method w/ tests + input validation (i.e. confirm the input is numeric).
2. Implement latitude + longitude fuzzy search.
