REST Web Services

This section details the setup and deployment of the Geo Addressing SDK (GA SDK) REST web services. Key prerequisites include the GA SDK distribution package, Spectrum-format datasets (*.spd), and a compatible Tomcat server. Installation involves unzipping the GA SDK, preparing a data directory, and using the GGS CLI tool to extract and configure datasets, supporting both autocomplete and batch modes.

After data configuration, deploy the REST API to an empty Tomcat webapps directory and start the server using the appropriate script for Windows or Linux. A sample web application is available to demonstrate REST service features, such as address autocomplete, but requires prior dataset installation and configuration. Additional references are provided for more information on the Geocoding and Addressing APIs.
