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.

Constructor

tt.services.placeById([options], [additionalOptions])

Example
tt.services.fuzzySearch({
     key: <Your API key>,
     query: "pizza"
}).then(function(response) {
     tt.services.placeById({
         entityId: response.results[0].id,
         key: <Your API key>
     }).then(function(placeByIdResult) {
         console.log(placeByIdResult);
     });
  });
Parameters
Name Description
options
Object
default:None
additionalOptions
Object
default:None 		Additional options to be passed to the service.
additionalOptions.abortSignal
Object
default:None

Signal created with abortController.


Use AbortController to cancel requests in progress.
Example
var abortController = new AbortController();
var options = {};
tt.services.calculateRoute(options, { abortSignal: abortController.signal })
    .then(function(response) { console.log(response) });
    .catch(function(error) {
        if (abortController.signal.aborted === true) {
            console.log('Request aborted.');
        }
    });
abortController.abort();
options.entityId
String
default:None

The identifier of a specific POI, e.g. g6Fjo05MRKJpZK81MjgwMDkwMDQyNDY3OTKhdqdVbmlmaWVk.
options.key
String
default:None

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.language
String
default:null

Language code that decides in which language the results should be returned.


The value should correspond to one of the supported IETF language codes. The list is available here. The code is case insensitive.
options.mapcodes
String
default:null

Enables the return of a comma-separted mapcodes list. It can also filter the response to only show selected mapcode types. See Mapcodes in the response. Values: One or more of:

  • Local
  • International
  • Alternative

A mapcode represents a specific location, to within a few meters. Every location on Earth can be represented by a mapcode. Mapcodes are designed to be short, easy to recognize, remember, and communicate. Visit the Mapcode project website for more information. Usage examples:


Example
tt.services.fuzzySearch({
  query: 'Some street',
  mapcodes: 'Local'
}).then(handleResults);

tt.services.fuzzySearch({
  query: 'Some street',
  mapcodes: 'Local,Alternative,International'
}).then(handleResults);
options.openingHours
String
default:None

The only available option is 'nextSevenDays'.


This option shows the opening hours for the next week, starting with the current day in the local time of the POI.
Example
// search for cinemas inculding their opening hours.
tt.services.fuzzySearch({
  query: 'cinema',
  openingHours: 'nextSevenDays'
}).then(handleResults);
options.relatedPois
String
default:None

The only available options are off, child, parent, all.


This option is used to provide the possibility to return related Points Of Interest. Points Of Interest can be related to each other when one is physically part of another. For example, an airport terminal can physically belong to an airport. This relationship is expressed as a parent/child relationship: the airport terminal is a child of the airport. Usage:
  • If the value child or parent is given, a related POIs with a specified relation type will be returned in the Response.
  • If the value all is given, then both child and parent relations are returned.
Example
// search for airport terminals inculding their related Points Of Interest.
tt.services.fuzzySearch({
  query: 'airport terminal',
  relatedPois: 'all'
}).then(handleResults);
options.timeZone
String
default:None

The only available option is iana.


This option is used to indicate the mode in which the timeZone object should be returned. The only available option is iana - mode that shows the IANA ID which allows the user to determine the current time zone for the POI.
Example
// search for cinemas including their opening hours and IANA ID.
tt.services.fuzzySearch({
  query: 'cinema',
  openingHours: 'nextSevenDays',
  timeZone: 'iana'
}).then(handleResults);
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.
