How to make reverse geocodigry?

Gliacomercial · January 10, 2020, 6:14pm

I’m in need of converting an address into latitude and logitude is the same as reverse encoding.
I’m going to use the LocationIQ API.

The problem is that I do not know how to use api , can anyone help me ?

I think I can. Could you PM me a functional GET link? I don’t leak API keys, you can ask @David.

P.S. It’s best if you message me on Telegram.

Once you create an account in LocationIQ you get your API token . From the API documentation you see that for reverse geocoding requests can be sent to any of the following endpoints

GET https://us1.locationiq.com/v1/reverse.php?key=YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN&lat=LATITUDE&lon=LONGITUDE&format=json

GET https://eu1.locationiq.com/v1/reverse.php?key=YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN&lat=LATITUDE&lon=LONGITUDE&format=json

So all you have to do is replace YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN in the above address and use it in your project . The response that you will get will be in json format so you will have to get the values from json

See an example , I use JsonUtils extension from @Jerin_Jacob

This geocodes any given address:

In my example I use reverse geocoding and when I click on google map a marker is added and the address shows in a label.The response you receive from locationIQ is in json format

So you have from that json string to choose the information that you want to call to your label . So when web GET text to I choose from “address” to call specific values
