Batch geocoding

[jqnatividad]

Be able to send a CSV and get geocoded results along with exception report ala SmartyStreets

This is on the roadmap - details to come. Will check out the app you referenced to the exception report.

Here's an example report for your reference.
OPPS_APC_CSV--2014-02-28.zip

It was created for a batch job to geocode this file - open data Medicare released showing provider charge rates across the US

Adding to 2.0.x (meaning: scheduled for an undetermined 2.0.x series release)

Adding 'help wanted' to this enhancement to encourage interested Geoclient users to provide feedback on desired functionality, use cases, etc...

In the meantime, you could also use programs like Open Refine, that let you call a webservice with values from each record in a spreadsheet - https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Geocoding

Not that having batch support wouldn't be nice though-

Hi Chris,

The issue isn't the availability of batch API's; it's being able to batch geocode against Geosupport from a non-mainframe, non-Microsoft, non-user-driven environment. E.g., As geocoders go, Geoclient is nothing special itself and (except for the single-field search) just a enabler -- like a JDBC driver is to Java and a specific database product.

What's truly unique is the underlying Geosupport application which aggregates data into a collection of attributes not available directly from any other single source.

I see, Ok, just wanted to make sure people know about Open Refine. I installed a http request module in postgres (https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-http), and can now geocode directly from there, that a pretty non-user driven approach-
