Batch Geocoder API Developer's Guide

Geocoordinates for Multiple Addresses

To request the corresponding geocoordinates for a list of complete addresses, you need to follow three steps:

upload your data
wait until the geocoding process is done, alternatively check the job status
download the results

This quick start only shows the first step in this process. For examples of the other steps, see Get job status and Get job results.

To upload the data, send the following POST request:

https://batch.geocoder.ls.hereapi.com/6.2/jobs
?apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY}
&indelim=%7C
&outdelim=%7C
&action=run
&outcols=displayLatitude,displayLongitude,locationLabel,
  houseNumber,street,district,city,postalCode,county,
  state,country
&outputcombined=false

Note: This example uses a HERE API Key to authenticate your request. For the available authentication options, see the Identity & Access Management Developer Guide./xref>.
