w3w-rs

Rust crates for accessing what3words public API

w3w-cli

CLI that provided access to what3words public API in batch mode.

Features

• Reasonably fast
• Zero system dependencies
• Supports most what3words public API endpoints, excluding speech recognition
• WIP: Interactive mode with autosuggest

Installation

Binary releases are not provided yet. If you have a recent installation of Rust, you can use cargo install:

cargo install w3w-cli

The binary name is w3w for brevity.

Usage

You need to have a what3words API key. You can provide it via -k|--key flag or via W3W_API_KEY env variable.

w3w uses the same strategy as cat(1) for handling files and standard input. (WIP: w3w doesn't currently support multiple files, you can use cat(1) beforehand 😄) If no [file] is provided, input is read from stdout.

USAGE:
    w3w [OPTIONS] --api-key <api-key> <SUBCOMMAND>

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -k, --api-key <api-key>         Your what3words API key [env: W3W_API_KEY]
        --log-format <format>       Log format to be used by tracing-subscriber [env: W3W_LOG_FORMAT=]  [default: full]
                                    [possible values: compact, full, json, pretty]
    -o, --output-format <format>    Output format to write to stdout [env: W3W_OUTPUT_FORMAT=]  [default: plain]
                                    [possible values: plain, json]

SUBCOMMANDS:
    available-languages    List all available language for three-word-addresses
    help                   Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
    to-3wa                 Convert geographic coordinates to three-word-addresses
    to-coords              Convert three-word-addresses to geographic coordinates

Examples

$ w3w to-coords <(echo "filled.count.soap")
51.520847,-0.195521

$ w3w -o json to-coords <(echo "filled.count.soap") | jq .coordinates
{ "lat": 51.520847, "lng": -0.195521 }

$ w3w to-3wa <(echo "51.520847,-0.195521")
filled.count.soap

$ w3w available-languages
English (en), German (de), ...
