Maps SDK for Web

tt.services.placeById

Makes a placeById request using Place by Id API.

The Place by Id service endpoint provides detailed information about the Place found by its identifier (entityId). Currently, Place by Id only supports POI (Points of Interest) ids.

Parameters need to be passed to the constructor.

Response

The response is extended with getTrackingId() method, which returns the Tracking-ID associated with the request.

Additionally, the response extends API response by providing toGeoJson() method, which converts place by id data into FeatureCollection with Point geometry.

Each point feature represents poi from the original response. Properties of poi are mapped into feature properties

Please refer to Difference between API responses and this library's responses section.

tt.services.fuzzySearch({

     tt.services.placeById({
         entityId: response.results[0].id,
         key: <Your API key>
     }).then(function(placeByIdResult) {

    .then(function(response) { console.log(response) });
    .catch(function(error) {
        if (abortController.signal.aborted === true) {

A valid API Key for the requested service.


Key is required to make use of the given service. It can be issued in the Developer Portal.

options.trackingId
String
default:uuid

Sets value of "Tracking-ID" header.


Specifies an identifier for the request. If not set by the user, UUID is generated for each call.
  • It can be used to trace a call.
  • The value must match the regular expression '^[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,100}$'.
  • An example of the format that matches this regular expression is UUID: (e.g. 9ac68072-c7a4-11e8-a8d5-f2801f1b9fd1). For details check RFC 4122.
  • If specified, it is replicated in the Tracking-ID Response header.
  • It is only meant to be used for support and does not involve tracking of you or your users in any form.
