How to read firestore GeoPoint in python script?

I am writing a Python script to read Firebase Firestore data. Somehow documentSnapshop.to_dict() was not working for me. So, I have written a class by referring to https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/blob/master/firestore/cloud-client/snippets.py#L103 this resource.

In my case, there is the location of the city stored as the GeoPoint firestore field. I am not able to get it in the dictionary. How can we add GeoPoint location in the City class mentioned in the reference example mentioned above?

Assuming that the GeoLocation property is named location, you should just add it like:

class City(object):
    def __init__(self, name, state, country, capital=False, population=0,
                 regions=[], location):
        self.name = name
        self.state = state
        self.country = country
        self.capital = capital
        self.population = population
        self.regions = regions
        self.location = location

Then, when getting data from the DB, you could set the location property like this:

source = db.collection(u'collection').document(u'docId').get().to_dict()
city = City(source[u'name'], source[u'state'], source[u'country'], source[u'country'], source[u'location'])

If you wanted to fetch the latitude or longitude, you could do so with the following code:

city.location.latitude
city.location.longitude
