Feedback: GEOSEARCH

[sivakumar-74]

Page https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/geosearch/

Pls add sample code implementation for these commands in all the supported programming languages

It is so frustrating I can't find a single implementation for these commands, not only Geosearch, Geosearch with all the geo search related queries.

Hi @sivakumar-74. Thank you for reaching out.

Eventually, all command pages will have code examples. In the interim, you can trying asking the Redis Copilot for help. For example, I asked it "How to use the GEOSEARCH command with Python?", and it replied with the following:

To use the GEOSEARCH command with Python, you can utilize the redis-py library, which is a Python client for Redis. Here is a basic example of how you can use GEOSEARCH:

import redis

# Connect to Redis
client = redis.StrictRedis(host='localhost', port=6379, decode_responses=True)

# Add some geospatial items
client.geoadd('cities', {'longitude': 13.361389, 'latitude': 38.115556, 'catania': 1})
client.geoadd('cities', {'longitude': 15.087269, 'latitude': 37.502669, 'palermo': 2})

# Use the GEOSEARCH command
result = client.execute_command('GEOSEARCH', 'cities', 'FROMMEMBER', 'catania', 'BYRADIUS', 100, 'km', 'ASC')

print(result)  # Outputs the members within 100 km from Catania, sorted by distance

Make sure you have the redis-py library installed, which you can do by running pip install redis.

The GEOSEARCH command can search members in a geospatial index using a variety of parameters such as radius, box, member, etc. The above code demonstrates searching within a radius from a specified member. Adjust the parameters as needed for your specific use case.

If you need more detailed documentation on these commands, please refer to the Redis documentation or the redis-py library documentation.

Given that adding examples to every command page is already a roadmap item, may I close this ticket?

Hi @dwdougherty,

Thank you for your response.

It was good to know there is an AI chat for Redis command queries. I have tried it and found that it provides correct answers. However, I encountered issues with Node.js-specific functions. I have attached a screenshot for your reference.

One thing I didn't know was that there is AI to help with documentation in Redis. It would be helpful if you could add an icon in the documentation to ask Redis Copilot. I have attached a screenshot with my suggestion.

Thanks again for your assistance.
