TERRAPAGES GEOCODER
The TerraPages online Geocoder will interactively geocode or geographically locate an Australian address by adding a geographic coordinate (latitude & longitude) to an existing input address.
All Terra Geocode requests are made by a web application using a URL based HTTP GET request with a set of KVP (key-value pair) based parameters. Currently the Terra Geocoder can operate in three modes:
Generalized mode:
This mode requires the address to be tokenized or broken down into individual KVP parameters. The requesting URL will have a set of keys such as 'number', 'StreetName', 'streetType', etc. This mode should always return a best fit co-ordinate for each database search.
SEL mode:
This mode enables free form addresses to be accepted and co-ordinates returned. The address is simply set in the URL using the 'freeFormAddress' field. The spaces are replaced with '+' delimited markers.
Exact mode:
This mode requires the address to be tokenized or broken down into individual KVP parameters. The requesting URL will have a set of keys such as 'number', 'StreetName', 'streetType', etc. This mode requires an exact match with the database address or it will fail to return a co-ordinate
