🚀 Getting Started with the Geohash Encoding Actor (JavaScript Edition)

A simple Actor built with the Apify SDK that converts geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into a geohash string using the ngeohash library.

It accepts JSON input with latitude, longitude, and an optional precision, encodes the coordinates, and stores the geohash along with the original coordinates in a dataset.

🔥 Included Features

Built with Apify SDK for building Actors
Input validation and parsing for latitude, longitude, and precision
Geohash encoding using the ngeohash library
Storing results automatically in the Apify dataset

⚙️ How It Works

The Actor reads input JSON, which must contain:
- latitude
- longitude
- Optional precision (defaults to 9 if omitted)
Coordinates are parsed and passed to ngeohash.encode() with the given precision.
The resulting geohash string is pushed to the dataset along with the original coordinates.
Actor then cleanly exits.

📝 Usage Example

Pass input JSON like this:

{
  "latitude": 37.7749,
  "longitude": -122.4194,
  "precision": 7
}
