Address Geocode and Reverse Geocode APIs
These APIs perform address resolution based on the configured map provider.
Geocode API
Use this API to retrieve longitude and latitude values for a specified address or address fragment. The specified address value is used as a parameter to call the geocode API of the default map provider, along with map provider configuration values. Returns longitude and latitude values of the matching addresses in JSON format.
This API gets the configuration information for the default map provider (for example, the API key, client or service ID, or secret key), and uses those values with the specified latitude and longitude parameter values to construct the URL of the geocode API for the map provider. An HTTP request is then sent to invoke the API, format the request response, and return the formatted result.
API Definition
public static resultObject geocode(String addressKeyword)
The addressKeyword parameter is an address or address fragment used to search for matching addresses and retrieve longitude and latitude values.
The return type is resultObject, which defines the information that is included in the response for this API.

Description
|
|---|---|
|
status_code
|
Status code of the response. For more information, see Geocode API Response Status Codes below.
|
|
status_message
|
Status message of the response.
|
|
Items
|
Array of matching addresses, with latitude and longitude value for each location.
|
|
latitude
|
Latitude value for a matching address.
|
|
longitude
|

Reverse Geocode API
Use this API to retrieve detailed address information for specified longitude and latitude values. This API gets the configuration information for the default map provider (for example, the API key, client or service ID, or secret key), and uses those values with the specified latitude and longitude parameter values to construct the URL of the reverse geocode API for the map provider. An HTTP request is then sent to invoke the API, format the request response, and return the formatted result.
API Definition
public static resultObject reverseGeocode(String latitude, String longitude)

Message
|
Description
|
|---|---|---|
|
0
|
Success
|
Successful request. Single matched address returned.
|
|
1
|
Request success but no result return.
|
Successful request. No matched result returned, for example, for example, because invalid address or latitude/longitude values were passed.

|
2
|
Request success with multiple results return.
|
Successful request. Multiple matched addresses returned.
|
|
3
|
Invalid request, missing the "addressKeyword" parameter.
Invalid request, missing the "latitude" or "longitude" parameter.
|
Parameter is null, empty, or invalid. Latitude and longitude values must be numbers in String format, with a latitude scope of –90 to 90 and longitude scope of –180 to 180. For example, addressKeyword = "", latitude = "100" causes this error.

Address Geocode and Request Geocode API Usage
Import the Class
import com.servicemax.mapproviders.MapProviderManager

result = MapProviderManager.geocode("Mountain View");
result = MapProviderManager.reverseGeocode("37.3893889","-122.0832101");
//get the information from resultObject
res.status_code + " - " + res.status_message + " - " + res.items[0].address
Convert resultObject to a JSON Object
result.toJsonObject()

"status_code": 0,
"items": [
{
"country_code": "us",
"country": "United States of America",

Get Nearest Address for Specified Latitude and Longitude
Retrieves the nearest single AddressInfo for a given IGeography latitude-longitude pair.
IGeography geography = new Geography("37.389389", "-122.083210")
AddressInfo address = MapProviderManager.reverseGeocode(geography);
Assert.assertTrue(address.address.contains("828 Church St"))
 |
All latitude and longitude input values must be in the WGS84 coordinate system. Output values are also in this format. Each map provider API has different response attributes, which are converted to a consistent object with a single set of attributes, for example, resultObject.
