When using NOminatim with GeoPy to encode given address strings, how does one get the country information?
Is there any structured way to get the country name in the output? One way is to take the string after the last "," to get the country, but doesnt seem like a robust way to do so.
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent='myapplication')
x = 'PA - Cranberry Township'
location = geolocator.geocode(x, exactly_one=True,language="english", namedetails=True)
# how to get country name from response
location.raw

Here you go:
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent='myapplication')
x = 'PA - Cranberry Township'
location = geolocator.geocode(x, exactly_one=True, language="en", namedetails=True, addressdetails=True)
print(location.raw)
print(f"""Country Name: {location.raw['address']['country']}""")
