cli-geocode geocode

This tool is used to geocode addresses in a provided Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. For this to work, the headings of the columns are required to be as follows:

USAGE
  $ cli-geocode geocode -f <value> [-a <value>] [-o <value>]

FLAGS
  -a, --apiKey=<value>      Here API Key - if not specified it's expected to be contained within your terminal
                            environment
  -f, --filename=<value>    (required) Path and name of Excel file of address data to geocode
  -o, --outputFile=<value>  Path and name of file to write output to

DESCRIPTION
  This tool is used to geocode addresses in a provided Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. For this to work, the headings of
  the columns are required to be as follows:

  address_id - used to reference the provided address in the output (recId in output)
  name - the name of the address or first part (optional)
  address - the address itself (optional)
  second_address -  the second part of the address (optional)
  third_address - the third part of the address (optional)
  city - the city of the address (optional)
  postcode - the postcode of the address (optional)
  country -  the country of the address (optional)

  If present, each of the name, address, second_address, third_address, city and postcode fields will be concatenated
  together and used as 'searchText' in the request

  The output is created as an Excel workbook.

  Note: You may get multiple results in the output for a single line when the HERE Maps Geocoder returns multiple
  results for a provided address.
  When this is the case the seqLength field will be > 0 for a given recId
    
  Fields in the output are described in the HERE documentation [here](https://developer.here.com/documentation/batch-geocoder/dev_guide/topics/read-batch-request-output.html)
