GeoCode POST Request
The POST request enables you to submit a single input address or a list of addresses for batch processing. Matching and/or geocoding preferences can optionally be specified to the Geocode service and receive the associated latitude/longitude coordinates and location information. The preference options for a POST request are the complete set of available options.
We recommend to use a batch size of 100 to start with. Although the maximum batch size allowed is 1000, but it may result in performance issues which depends on many factors such as the country the addresses belong to, quality of addresses being input. General guideline is that if you face API timeouts or you feel the API responses are slow, you should decrease your batch size by half and try again. If required, go for a batch size below 100 as well.
- Country must be entered for each address.
- Post code or City should be in the address.
- Sorting input addresses by country and\or postcode when possible.
- Follow Input Address standards.
