I've been reading the docs for the Bing geocoder using geopy and there doesn't seem to be a parameter for geocoding quality as an output.

In particular, I'm looking for 'matchCodes' and 'confidence' as outlined here.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance.

Location.raw attribute contains the raw geocoding response, from which these params can be retrieved:

In [1]: import os
   ...: from geopy.geocoders import Bing

In [2]: g = Bing(api_key=os.environ['BING_KEY'])
   ...: l = g.geocode("moscow")

In [3]: l.raw
Out[3]:
{'__type': 'Location:http://schemas.microsoft.com/search/local/ws/rest/v1',
 'bbox': [55.493934631347656,
  37.31906509399414,
  55.9488410949707,
  37.94414520263672],
 'name': 'Moscow City',
 'point': {'type': 'Point',
  'coordinates': [55.55002975463867, 37.36982727050781]},
 'address': {'adminDistrict': 'Moscow City',
  'countryRegion': 'Russia',
  'formattedAddress': 'Moscow City'},
 'confidence': 'High',
 'entityType': 'AdminDivision1',
 'geocodePoints': [{'type': 'Point',

   'calculationMethod': 'Rooftop',
   'usageTypes': ['Display']}],
 'matchCodes': ['Ambiguous']}

In [4]: l.raw['confidence']
Out[4]: 'High'

In [5]: l.raw['matchCodes']
Out[5]: ['Ambiguous']
