Geocoding Batch API

Applies to: see pricing tiers.

The Geocoding Batch API sends batches of queries to Geocoding API using just a single API call. The API allows caller to batch up to 100 queries.

Submit Synchronous Batch Request

The Synchronous API is recommended for lightweight batch requests. When the service receives a request, it will respond as soon as the batch items are calculated and there will be no possibility to retrieve the results later. The Synchronous API will return a timeout error (a 408 response) if the request takes longer than 60 seconds. The number of batch items is limited to 100 for this API.

POST Body for Batch Request

To send the geocoding queries you will use a POST request where the request body will contain the batchItems array in json format and the Content-Type header will be set to application/json. Here's a sample request body containing 2 geocoding queries:

{
  "batchItems": [
    {
      "addressLine": "One, Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052",
      "top": 2
    },
    {
      "addressLine": "Pike Pl",
      "adminDistrict": "WA",
      "locality": "Seattle",
      "top": 3
    }
  ]
}

A geocoding batchItem object can accept any of the supported geocoding URI parameters.

The batch should contain at least 1 query.

Batch Response Model

The batch response contains a summary component that indicates the totalRequests that were part of the original batch request and successfulRequests i.e. queries which were executed successfully. The batch response also includes a batchItems array which contains a response for each and every query in the batch request. The batchItems will contain the results in the exact same order the original queries were sent in the batch request. Each item is of one of the following types:

• GeocodingResponse - If the query completed successfully.

• Error - If the query failed. The response will contain a code and a message in this case.
