locationservice_search_place_index_for_position(
IndexName,
Position,
MaxResults = NULL,
Language = NULL,
Key = NULL
)
[required] The name of the place index resource you want to use for the search.
[required] Specifies the longitude and latitude of the position to query.
This parameter must contain a pair of numbers. The first number represents the X coordinate, or longitude; the second number represents the Y coordinate, or latitude.
For example, [-123.1174, 49.2847]
represents a position with longitude
-123.1174
and latitude 49.2847
.
An optional parameter. The maximum number of results returned per request.
Default value: 50
The preferred language used to return results. The value must be a valid
BCP 47 language tag, for example, en
for English.
This setting affects the languages used in the results, but not the results themselves. If no language is specified, or not supported for a particular result, the partner automatically chooses a language for the result.
For an example, we'll use the Greek language. You search for a location
around Athens, Greece, with the language
parameter set to en
. The
city
in the results will most likely be returned as Athens
.
If you set the language
parameter to el
, for Greek, then the city
in the results will more likely be returned as \(A\Theta\eta\nu\alpha\).
If the data provider does not have a value for Greek, the result will be in a language that the provider does support.
The optional API key to authorize the request.
