Initiates a job that geocodes exposure data uploaded to the specified BULK_GEOHAZ folder.
A BULK_GEOHAZ folder is a temporary storage location and a logical path on AWS S3. A flat file of exposure data in CSV format should be uploaded to this folder prior to initiating a bulk geocoding job. For details, see Create Bulk Geohaz Folder.
This operation facilitates the catastrophe modeling processes by geocoding large volumes of exposures in a single request.
Geocoding is the process of estimating the global coordinates (latitude and longitude) of a location based on its street address, city, postal code, or other address information. Geocoding software evaluates the address information for completeness and quality using specialized pattern matching algorithms, heuristics, and geographic databases.
Layer options
The reqeust body accepts name and version of this data product as well as a number of options:
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
aggregateTrigger | Boolean | If false, returns coordinates for lower resolution matches. If true, sets coordinates to (0.0, 0.0) in lower resolutions. |
forceCountryLevel | Boolean | If false, locations are skipped if the only properties specified are the countryCode and countryScheme. If true, locations are geocoded whenever the countryCode and countrySchemes properties are valid, and the geoResolutionCode is automatically set to 14. |
licenseType | Boolean | If 0 uses RL engine. If 1, uses HD engine. |
skipPrevGeocoded | Boolean | If true, skips locations with a geoResolutionCode that is greater than 0. |
