Custom Endpoint

[Statsguy808]

Are there any plans to add an option for custom Endpoints when connecting, so that we can leverage hipaa compliant datasets?

No plans, but would welcome a proposal or just a little bit more info about what this actually means in practice.

Sure, this would be allowing the entering of either a custom base url rather than 'https://API.geocod.io/v{api_version}'. There are instances where companies have their own base url API and also instances where you would want to hit the HIPAA compliant base url ('https://api-hipaa.geocod.io/v{api_version'). Let me know if that makes sense.
Edit: whoops see HIPAA enabled code on here but no custom.

Documentation is the problem here!

The client already supports both custom endpoints and the HIPPA compliant endpoint.

pygeocodio/src/geocodio/client.py

Lines 62 to 70 in 077a486

	def __init__(self, key, order="lat", version=None, hipaa_enabled=False, auto_load_api_version=True, timeout=None, custom_base_domain=None):
	"""
	"""
	if custom_base_domain is None:
	self.hipaa_enabled = hipaa_enabled
	self.BASE_DOMAIN = "https://api{hipaa_append}.geocod.io".format(
	hipaa_append=('-hipaa' if self.hipaa_enabled else ''))
	else:
	self.BASE_DOMAIN = custom_base_domain

Oh great, thanks!
