Hi I am using mapquest api to show the distance from source to destination in app
Problem:
I am sending below request to mapquest to get the distance
{ "locations":[ "40.2336,-111.6475", "33.621227,-111.917229","30.688181,76.706238"],
"options":{ "allToAll":true, "unit":"k", "doReverseGeocode":false,"manyToOne":true } }
Now in this case distance can be calculated from first lat long to second lat long as both are US based address but distance cannot be calculated between first and third location as third one is Indian location .
Now the response I am getting is
{"route":{"routeError":{"message":"","errorCode":0}},"info":{"copyright":
{"text":"© 2015 MapQuest, Inc.","imageUrl":"http://api.mqcdn.com/res/mqlogo.gif",
"imageAltText":"© 2015 MapQuest, Inc."},"statuscode":400,
"messages":["We are unable to route with the given locations."]}}
Which I suppose is wrong as distance between first two places should be returned .
Please suggest what can be done for this ?
Currently the matrix fails if any of the legs fails. Making this return any successful legs is on the team's backlog.
The reason for the error is that your locations are invalid. I ran it with the exact POST body you had, and got error 402. Looking at the MapQuest Directions API Status Codes, this is an invalid location. This makes sense, considering the coordinates include two in the US and one in India. This, AFAIK, is only a driving API, hence why overseas locations are invalid.
Another point unrelated to the main problem: your request is semantically invalid. You specify both allToAll and manyToOne as true, which is invalid. The API will ignore your manyToOne as a result, so make sure you are requesting exactly what you want.

I am currently working on a project that involves calculating Duration matrices from a collection of thousands of addresses using NEO4J and Bing Maps API. Since the data is sensitive, we're going to use the mock address (which actually produces the same issue I'm describing) '72ND & DODGE, OMAHA, NE 68132' to represent the format intersection addresses are being sent to Bing Maps API using their keys and basic url requests.
To preface this: the issue isn't with my code (which is also sensitive data), as all my code is doing is sending one url string of the above format plus the authorization key to Bing Maps and awaiting a response that contains the duration data of the trip. My issue is Bing Maps being seemingly unable to handle or work with intersections of streets to calculate distances/durations from other locations. When I throw these addresses into Bing/Google Maps in the web browser, they are able to be found and calculated in the exact same format as the above example.
I start off my program checking if an address exists/is valid by having it find the latitude and longitude of each address, so for the example '72ND & DODGE, OMAHA, NE 68132' it found: Lat: '41.259690' and Long: '-96.023770'. If it is unable to find the Lat/Long of an addresses, then it throws the 'Invalid Geocode' error, but in this initialization context it means the address does not exist, or is poorly formatted, which makes sense and is why I did this for the initialization phase.
However, if I go to use '72ND & DODGE, OMAHA, NE 68132' for any duration calculations between other addresses, it throws the 'Invalid Geocode' for '72ND & DODGE, OMAHA, NE 68132' over and over again with no explanation on why even though it passed the Lat/Long check. I'd also like to mention that this issue isn't consistent, as some intersections do not work while others do, but there is no consistency in knowing which ones will or will not work. Thus, I am ultimately wondering if Bing Maps is unable to calculate certain addresses no matter their formatting or whatnot.
Be sure to encode your query before putting it into the URL. Especially when you have & in your query since it would then break your query up, thinking you were asking just for 72ND and the rest of your query is query string parameter name. This is documented in the best practices section here.
In Java you can encode the query parameter like this:
String baseURL = "https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?key={BingMapsKey}&query=";
// query string
String query = "72ND & DODGE, OMAHA, NE 68132";
// URL encode query string
String encodeStr = URLEncoder.encode(query, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name());
// final url
String url = baseURL + encodeStr;
Here is an example of how your query URL should look:
https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?key={BingMapsKey}&query= 72ND%20%26%20DODGE%2C%20OMAHA%2C%20NE%2068132
I am calling the Rest API V1/products to get the product list from Magento 2 store
Request:
http://{myMagentohost}/Magento/index.php/rest/V1/products?searchCriteria[currentPage]=1&searchCriteria[pageSize]=1
Response:
{"items": [ { "id": 1,"sku": "24-MB01","name": "Joust Duffle Bag","attribute_set_id": 15,"price": 34,"status": 1,"visibility": 4,"type_id": "simple","created_at": "2017-06-13 09:36:11","updated_at": "2017-06-13 09:36:11","product_links": [{"sku": "24-MB01", "link_type": "upsell","linked_product_sku": "24-MB03","linked_product_type": "simple","position": null,"extension_attributes": []},{"sku": "24-B01","link_type": "upsell","linked_product_sku": "24-WB04","linked_product_type": "simple","position": null,"extension_attributes": []}],"options": [],"tier_prices": [],"custom_attributes": [{"attribute_code": "description","value": "<p>The sporty Joust Duffle Bag can't be beat - ot in the gym, not on the luggage carousel, not anywhere.

Now according to the Magento 2 Rest API swagger documentation,
catalogProductRepositoryV1, GET /V1/products in response it shows the extension_attributes but when I actually call this api from postman extension_attributes is missing.
I search for it but no appropriate solution is available.
Can anyone help in this matter?
Thanks!
We are using M2Ent Cloud Edt and we have an open ticket with Magento support who confirm this is a problem with the REST API.
To circumvent, we initially looped through all products via V1/products using pagination (Fastly as a 60s timeout otherwise), and then called V1/products/{sku} to get all the details (which correctly includes the extension_attributes node.
They have not given us an ETA on a fix.
We are using Route REST API and we experience problem when passing many POIs to HTTP request (parameters "poixN"). Our request has about 1000 POIs and some of them are truncated (hard to count, but definitely not all are shown). Here's an example request (first line is URL, the others are parameters passed with POST):
http://maps.nlp.nokia.com/mia/1.6/route?app_code=<APP_CODE>&app_id=<APP_ID>
h=440
w=1030
poix0=52.2420610745,21.0951604874;FFFFEA00;FFFFEA00;1;.
poix1=52.2420610745,21.0952168365;FFFFEA00;FFFFEA00;1;.
poix2=52.2420610745,21.0951024308;FFFFEA00;FFFFEA00;1;.
poix3=52.2047067699,20.9944339802;FFFFEA00;FFFFEA00;1;.
...
poix940=52.1749134848,20.9056261531;FFEE7AFF;FFEE7AFF;1;.
q=100
Is there a limit for number of POIs? What about other parameters like "r"?
We use enterprise version. Thank you in advance.
Edit
Ok, after some research I know the limit for "poixN" is 99. Any way to increase the limit?
I don't think it is possible to increase the number of POIs available using the Map Image API, but it would be possible to obtain a screenshot of a more complex map using the Enterprise Maps API for JavaScript using the ContextMenu.captureHandler
You can add the captureHandler to a context menu as shown:
var contextMenu = new nokia.maps.map.component.ContextMenu();
contextMenu.addHandler(nokia.maps.map.component.ContextMenu.captureHandler);
map.components.add(contextMenu);
You can then obtain a screenshot with all your POIs, which could then be used for printing for example.The HERE Maps Community on GitHub hosts a working example specifically for printing which uses hi-res tiles from the Map Tile API as well. Note that screen capture only works on the Firefox Browser.
Since you have such a high number of POIs, I would also recommend looking at clustering to avoid overwhelming your users with too much information.
I want to retrieve all the address locations (latitude,longitude,format address) for a single 'search address' request (a little vague such as "Tata Consultancy Services") in MapKit.
I searched on the net and came across GoogleMapsAPI WebServices .
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/
But problem with response is that, it returns only a 'single object' in 'results array' response for a address search.
As an example if you search "Tata Consultancy Services" you get only one location whose formatted address is "TCS Rajshree Business Park, Tadiwala Rd, Sangamvadi, Pune, Maharashtra, India".My question is how can i get details of other locations as we all know that this is not the only office of TCS.
I would like to quote two documentation links related to your problem.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#GeocodingRequests
"Generally, only one entry in the "results" array is returned for address lookups, though the geocoder may return several results when address queries are ambiguous".
So you may found one or more result. but as you are requesting it from iPhone and sensor is by default true. you receive nearest matching result for your query.
The solution is "Viewport Biasing".Please find its details at below link under heading name "Viewport Biasing":-
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Viewports
Another options you can try on:
try setting sensor as false.
try region biasing as described on the same page cited above.
try some other word like "hotel near placename" and check the
response result
I tried following URLs to get both "shopping_mall" and "food" within a single request.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=%#,%#&radius=1500&sensor=true&key=%#&types=shopping_mall|food
This gives me response with only "food" type of places.
But,
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=%#,%#&radius=1500&sensor=true&key=%#&types=shopping_mall
Gives the result with "shopping_mall" only. Also, The same URL with "food" only give the result same as "shopping_mall|food".
Has anyone faced this issue. I have searched across but cannot find any useful answer to that.
P.S. I have gone through this link and this link , too.
If you are getting only food in the first request, and you're getting 20 results, then it is likely Google believes the most relevant results are food. You may have to do 2 requests. You can try adding keyword=shopping, but that may limit your food results.
