Get sveitarfélag information

[aodj-snjallgogn]

Is there a way to get the sveitarfélag information for a given location? I can see a svfnr in the returned dictionary, which I guess corresponds, but it's unclear what I'm supposed to do with that value, if anything.

A bit of googling turned up this:

• https://www.government.is/lisalib/getfile.aspx?itemid=4289e993-446d-11eb-812c-005056bc8c60

And Wikipedia:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipalities_of_Iceland

Should probably integrate this into iceaddr results at some point.

Yea, I've got another source I'm using for it, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something about this package and what data is included in it. Thanks for your help :)

What's your source, if I may ask?

What's your source, if I may ask?

No idea on the origin, it's a CSV associated with the project I'm working on. I needed to go from wgs84 coords to post code, locality, municipality, division, and region. For example, here's a spot in Búðardalur,

from iceaddr import nearest_addr

nearest_addr(65.1095089,-21.7710829)[0]

Which gives the following response

{
    "hnitnum": 10146432,
    "svfnr": 3811,
    "byggd": 4,
    "landnr": 233002,
    "postnr": 370,
    "heiti_nf": "Ægisbraut",
    "heiti_tgf": "Ægisbraut",
    "husnr": 4,
    "bokst": "B",
    "serheiti": "",
    "vidsk": "",
    "lat_wgs84": 65.1093915,
    "long_wgs84": -21.7720659,
    "stadur_nf": "Búðardalur",
    "stadur_tgf": "Búðardal",
    "svaedi_nf": "Vesturland og Vestfirðir",
    "svaedi_tgf": "Vesturlandi og Vestfjörðum",
    "tegund": "Stærra dreifbýli",
}

Ideally, I needed to get something like (format is irrelevant)

{
    "postal_code": "371",
    "locality": "Búðardalur",
    "municipality": "Dalabyggð",
    "division": "Vesturland og Vestfirðir",
    "region": "Vesturland",
}

... but neither the municipality/sveitarfélag nor region were available.

Will add this in the next release, re-opening this issue.
