Instance Method Details

#query(address: nil, components: nil, bounds: nil, region: nil, language: nil) ⇒ Array, Nokogiri::XML::NodeSet

Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like “1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA”) into geographic coordinates (like latitude 37.423021 and longitude -122.083739), which you can use to place markers or position the map.

Parameters:

  • address (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The address to geocode.

  • components (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    A component filter for which you wish to obtain a geocode. E.g. ‘TX’,‘country’: ‘US’

  • bounds (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    The bounding box of the viewport within which to bias geocode results more prominently. The hash must have :northeast and :southwest keys.

  • region (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The region code, specified as a ccTLD (“top-level domain”) two-character value.

  • language (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The language in which to return results.

Returns:

  • (Array, Nokogiri::XML::NodeSet) —

    Valid JSON or XML response.

Since:

  • 1.0.0
