Geocoder API Developer's Guide

Addresses at Ten Locations

Retrieve the address details of ten locations in a single request

The body of the HTTP POST request contains the coordinates and optional radius in the prox parameter as well as an optional numeric identifier in the id parameter as plain text, one line per pair of coordinates. The identifier associates each result with the corresponding input. If the user does not provide an identifier, the system creates one starting with 0.

You have to specify the content type for the request as plain/text or application/xml.

Example header when using wget
--header "Content-Type:application/xml; charset=utf8"
