Coordinates without Street No.

Post by Bee »

Is it possible to receive a ptv location with x-coordinates and y-coordinates without specifying a street no.? (For example only specifying a city and a street)

Hello Eike,

sure, you can provide complete input patterns or just subsets or properties.
Depending on the search options the result is a list of alternatives or just a single representant:

This is also described in this post:

house numberf ranges versus representant

Aggregated postcodes versus representant

Hello Bernd,

we are currently using the Service "SearchByTextRequest" from the XLocate Rest API.
(https://xserver2-dashboard.cloud.ptvgro ... s%7C_____7)

How do I set the necessary search params? I assume thats where the requestProfiles are for?

Here we go:
city without street.PNG
street with no housenumber.PNG
This is how it looks like in xServer 2.

There are no parameters given - we try to identify the users requirement.

Hello Bernd,

sorry for the inconvenience, it was my fault. We are currently using the location object which has "referenceCoordinate" and "roadAccessCoordinate". We were only dealing with the "roadAccessCoordinate" which is null if the requested address isn't fully defined. But of course, we are also getting the "referenceCoordinate" which is set, if e.g. only the city in the requested address was defined.
