Get Los Angeles county WKT

[MrPowers]

How can I fetch the LA county WKT? I was able to figure out how to get the WKT for LA city with this code:

wkls.us.ca.losangeles.wkt()

Thank you for the help!

Thanks for raising this @MrPowers!

To access place-level boundaries (county, locality, or neighborhood), the last key in wkls must match the full name string (e.g. "Los Angeles County"), which you can explore using wildcard search:

wkls["us"]["ca"]["%los angeles%"]

	id	country	region	subtype	name
0	e956c76c-056e-4308-b097-15161bab5eee	US	US-CA	county	Los Angeles County
1	538f68d7-2bc9-4ab8-be9d-3978f2e906b3	US	US-CA	county	Los Angeles County
2	6d16245d-5b0a-4e81-90cb-f3eb89cf8364	US	US-CA	locality	Los Angeles Eco Village
3	dfd48d4f-4512-49a5-a85a-dfbfe878f064	US	US-CA	locality	Los Angeles

Once you identify the full name, you can retrieve the WKT geometry using either syntax:

# Dictionary-style access
wkls["us"]["ca"]["Los Angeles County"].wkt()

# Dot-style access
wkls.us.ca.losangelescounty.wkt()

We should definitely update the README to make this clearer - especially around:

• When to use string vs. dot notation
• How to explore name matches using wildcards
