I am using this link
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=wawa&sensor=false
but it return no results where as google maps application return about 8 results on "wawa" search.
can you please tell me that which is the best API which gives same results in the form of longitude and latitude as google map application give
I gave an answer some time back which explains the entire process of getting response from the api...
you can refer it here

I am looking to build a simple application that could search for specific # in a specific GEO location.
For example:
{#cupcakes #sweets ---- in Dallas TX}
So when a user types in the hashtags only result they will see will be results within 100 miles of desired location. Are there parameters like that within APIs for Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter? Thank you.
Check out the twitter search api:
Geolocalization: the search operator “near” isn’t available in the API, but there is a more precise way to restrict your query by a given location using the geocode parameter specified with the template “latitude,longitude,radius”, for example, “37.781157,-122.398720,1mi”. When conducting geo searches, the search API will first attempt to find Tweets which have lat/long within the queried geocode, and in case of not having success, it will attempt to find Tweets created by users whose profile location can be reverse geocoded into a lat/long within the queried geocode, meaning that is possible to receive Tweets which do not include lat/long information.
I'm working on a project, and I'm completely stuck.
I get the user's location using CLLocation and am able to get the place name using CLGeocoder, and using this I've constructed a URL to search the Google Places Web API.
My question is, how can I actually complete the search and return the top place result's phone number? Any help would be much appreciated!
let url: URL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=taxi+" + placeMark.locality!+"&key=" + self.GAPIKEY)
This is the URL I've come up in case that helps
The first thing you need to do is an HTTP GET on the URL to get the API results. Consult the following SO question for various ways to do that:
How to make an HTTP request in Swift?
The data returned will be a JSON document in the format described in the Google Places API Docs. Look for the formatted_phone_number and/or international_phone_number fields. See Working with JSON in Swift for how to parse the JSON string.
I'am using graph API in my application. Recently I have come up with a trouble retrieving places using Places API.
When I try to retrieve locations using places API I'm not getting response as expected, please let me know in case if I'm missing out some steps.
url used in app is:-
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=Paris%2c%20France&type=place¢er=48.8567,2.3508&limit=20&distance=100
What is the minimum value of the distance to be specified?
As I'm able to get more places if I increase distance value from 100 to 1000
Playing with the Graph API explorer, there doesnt seem any specific value that can be used as minimum value while querying. Since using specifying 1 I still seem to be able to fetch the results, as of now the maximum value that you can specify seems to be 50000m for place queries.
Hi I am using a bing maps 7.0 ajax api to display map. I have several addresses which i geocode to get latitude and longitude using rest services in javascript. I have setup up a GeocodeCallback method in the geocode request.
geocodeRequest = "http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?"+mapDataAddress[1]+"&output=json&jsonp=GeocodeCallback&jsonso="+mapDataAddress[0]+"&key="+credentials;
CallRestService(geocodeRequest);
When the address are found i get a response in my GeocodeCallback function but for few address i dont get a response. How to figure out this status and error.
I figured this out. So basically you need to do two things.
You need to change your URL structure. I have found out that sometimes if I have weird address, bing will return a 400.
use the suppressStatus parameter and set it to true. I can't find the docs at this moment but basically I have found that if bing returns a 400,404,etc it won't actually call the callBack function. So supressstatus says that no matter what, always return a 200.
Orignially you have:
http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?"+mapDataAddress[1]+"&output=json&jsonp=GeocodeCallback&jsonso="+mapDataAddress[0]+"&key="+credentials;
So you want to do this:
http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?addressLine="+mapDataAddress[1]+"&output=json&jsonp=GeocodeCallback&suppressStatus=true&jsonso="+mapDataAddress[0]+"&key="+credentials;
Also take a look at the Tips and Tricks for using the Bing Maps REST services listed here: http://www.bing.com/blogs/site_blogs/b/maps/archive/2013/02/14/bing-maps-rest-service-tips-amp-tricks.aspx
I am facing a strange problem of google geocoding API.
My requirement is whenever a user types any address all the corresponding locations should show in my map View(I am using MKMap View) like it happens in google maps.
So what I do is I use google geocoding API that returns me a list of latitudes and longitudes for that corresponding location.
But for some location eg:- caribou coffee, chapel hil (When I search for this location in google maps,I get a number of annotations showing that address but when I type this address in geocoding I didnt get nothing.
request url:-http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=caribou%20coffee,%20chapel%20hil%20&sensor=false
response:-
-<GeocodeResponse>
<status>ZERO_RESULTS</status>
</GeocodeResponse>
Can any body tell me why I am not getting any latitude and longitude that correspnds to this address like it shown in google maps or there is some other way so that I can integrate the behaviour of google maps in my applications(mk map view).
Please help me as I am stuck here.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Note that the address is incomplete - e.g. searching for caribou coffee, chapel hill, nc does produce a result.
I would think that Geocoding API can't do anything with such addresses, and you may need to use some extra API - e.g. Places API (https://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/ ), which can return some results for queries like "coffee". You'd need to supply the user's location to use as a base, however.
