How can I measure distance with tastypie and geodjango?
- by Twitch
Using Tastypie and GeoDjango, I'm trying to return results of buildings located within 1 mile of a point.
The TastyPie documentation states that distance lookups are not yet supported, but I am finding examples of people getting it work, such as this discussion and this discussion on StackOverflow, but no working code examples that can be applied.
The idea that I am trying to work with is if I append a GET command to the end of a URL, then nearby locations are returned, for example:
http://website.com/api/?format=json&building_point__distance_lte=[{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [153.09537, -27.52618]},{"type": "D", "m" : 1}]
But when I try that, all I get back is:
{"error": "Invalid resource lookup data provided (mismatched type)."}
I've been pouring over the Tastypie document for days now and just can't figure out how to implement this.
I'd provide more examples, but I know they'd be all terrible. All advice is appreciated, thank you!
