Searches for panoramas within a radius around a point.

Parameters:

lat (float) – Latitude of the center point.

session (Session | None) – (optional) A requests session.

Returns:

A list of KakaoPanorama objects.

Return type:

List[KakaoPanorama]

Usage sample:
from streetlevel import kakao

panos = kakao.find_panoramas(37.4481486, 126.4509719)
