## [1] 1.567236The list above is not the most common way of storing files. It’s more likely that a data frame will be used to store the geodata. In that case, it has to be turned into a list of a specific format required by the API:
geolocations_df <- structure(
list(
longitude = c(-3.15807731271522, -1.12935802905177),
latitude = c(51.4799900627036, 50.7186356978817),
limit = c(NA, 100L),

## 1 -3.158077 51.47999 NA NA
## 2 -1.129358 50.71864 100 500Common usage of this function might be extracting particular variables. You can extract one variable like this:
# extract one postcode
bulk_rev_geo[[1]]$result[[8]]$postcode## [1] "CF24 2AL"But more likely you will want more than one result. After all, that’s the point of using a bulk function:
# function to extract variables of interest
extract_bulk_geo_variable <- function(x) {
bulk_results <- lapply(bulk_rev_geo, `[[`, "result")
sapply(unlist(bulk_results, recursive = FALSE), `[[`, x)
}
# define the variables you need
variables_of_interest <- c("postcode", "latitude", "longitude")
# return a data frame with the variables

UK postcodes can change so it’s worth checking whether used postcodes are still active. If you need more information about when a particular postcode was terminated use:
terminated_postcode("E1W 1UU")## postcode year_terminated month_terminated longitude latitude
