PTV Developer - Locations by Positions

Post by Sajmon »

Hi!

Is it possible to change return model of 'Locations by Position' endpoint?

When we use 'geocoding/v1/locations/by-position/50.25195922538689/19.022483825683594?language=en' in Poland we receive additional context in address.street property:

Code: Select all

"address": {
        "countryName": "Poland",
        "state": "Silesian Voivodeship",
        "province": "Katowice",
        "postalCode": "40-039",
        "city": "Katowice",
        "district": "",
        "subdistrict": "",
        "street": "ulica Powstańców",
        "houseNumber": "28",
        "countryCodeIsoAlpha2": "PL",
        "countryCodeIsoAlpha3": "POL",
        "countryCode": "PL"
      }
"street": "ulica Powstańców"
"ulica" means street - so in case of Poland we receive additional context to this specific field.

So, is there any way to change that? I found that in other countries we do not have such additional info.

Best regards,
Szymon

Hello Szymon,

honestly spoken: I do not get the point behind this request. :D

I know that "we always did it like this" is not an argument to avoid change, but what exactly is the benefit of "do not mention the ulica" ? I haven't heard this in 25 years.

Would a postal address in Poland not look like
PTV Logistics
Ul. Stumpf 1
76131 Karlsruhe
or
PTV Logistics
Ulica Stumpf 1
76131 Karlsruhe
I am curious about your feedback!
