streetlevel is a library for downloading panoramas and metadata from street-level imagery services including Google Street View, Apple Look Around, and several others.
Since it relies on calls to internal APIs, it may break unexpectedly.
(Nearly) all functions are available as both a sync function using requests or an async function using aiohttp, requiring a ClientSession.
pip install streetlevelDownloading the closest Google Street View panorama to a specific location, sync:
from streetlevel import streetview
pano = streetview.find_panorama(46.883958, 12.169002)
streetview.download_panorama(pano, f"{pano.id}.jpg")Or async:
from streetlevel import streetview
from aiohttp import ClientSession
async with ClientSession() as session:
pano = await streetview.find_panorama_async(46.883958, 12.169002, session)
await streetview.download_panorama_async(pano, f"{pano.id}.jpg", session)Documentation is available at streetlevel.readthedocs.io.
