tropo-openstreetmap

A small example showing use of Tropo WebAPI (Python) and OpenStreetMap's Overpass API to translate an SMS address to a set of lattitude longitude coordinates

Requirements:

• Tropo developer account (free): tropo.com
• Tropo application defined (Web/HTTP API) with inbound SMS phone number provisioned
• Internet reachable web server with WSGI environment provisioned (tested on Ubuntu 15.10, Apache 2.4.12, python 2.7.6, libapache2-mod-wsgi 3.4.4)
• Tropo Python help libraries tropo.py, tropo.pyc: https://github.com/tropo/tropo-webapi-python

How to Run the Code

• Sign-in and create a new application at Tropo.com
• Choose a unique name for the app, and choose 'Web (HTTP) API' as the Type
• Enter a URL pointing to an internet-reachable, WSGI enabled web server and the Tropo-OSM.wsgi script in this project
• Select a Phone Number/Region for the app's SMS phone number and click Create app
• Ensure tropo.py and tropy.pyc from the Tropo Python SDK library and present in the directory with Tropo-OSM.wsgi
• Send an SMS to the Tropo app number, consisting of a valid, full street address
• If all goes well, OpenStreetMap should return the lattitude and longitude corresponding to the address
