URL	`http://<geocodeservice-url>/geocodeAddresses`
Parent Resource	Geocode Service

Description

This operation was added in 10.1.

The geocodeAddresses operation is performed on a Geocode Service resource. The result of this operation is a resource representing the list of geocoded addresses. This resource provides information about the addresses including the address, location, score and other geocode service specific attributes.

You can provide arguments to the geocodeAddresses operation as query parameters defined in the parameters table below.

Parameters

Parameter	Details
f	Description: The response format. The default response format is html. Values: html \| json \| kmz
addresses	Description: A recordset representing the addresses to be geocoded. Each record must include an OBJECTID attribute with a unique value, as well as various address fields accepted by the corresponding geocode service. These fields are listed in the `addressFields` property of the JSON representation associated geocode service resource. The OBJECTID specified in the request is reflected as ResultID in the response. The maximum number of addresses that can be geocoded in a single request is limited to `SuggestedBatchSize` property of the locator. Example: Suppose that `addressFields` of a geocode service resource includes fields with the following names:`Street` and `Zone` you can provide the input for `addresses` as below. Syntax: { "records" : [ { "attributes" : {"<OBJECTID>" : "<OID11>","<field1>" : "<value11>", "<field2>" : "<value12>", "<field3>" : "<value13>"} }, { "attributes" : {"<OBJECTID>" : "<OID21>","<field1>" : "<value21>", "<field2>" : "<value22>", "<field3>" : "<value23>"} } ] } Example 1: { "records": [ { "attributes": { "OBJECTID": 1, "STREET": "440 Arguello Blvd", "ZONE": "94118" } }, { "attributes": { "OBJECTID": 2, "STREET": "450 Arguello Blvd", "ZONE": "94118" } } ] } Example 2 - Using single line address input, where SINGLE LINE INPUT is the single line address field: { "records": [ { "attributes": { "OBJECTID": 1, "SINGLE LINE INPUT": "440 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118" } }, { "attributes": { "OBJECTID": 2, "SINGLE LINE INPUT": "450 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118" } } ] }
outSR	Description: The well-known ID of the spatial reference or a spatial reference json object for the returned addresses. For a list of valid WKID values, see Projected coordinate Systems and Geographic coordinate Systems.
