Geo.MapQuest 2.1.1

MapQuest Geocoding

This allows the simple calling of MapQuest geocoding APIs. The supported MapQuest geocoding endpoints are:

• Open API
  • Geocoding
  • Reverse Geocoding
• Licensed API
  • Geocoding
  • Reverse Geocoding

Configuration

In the startup ConfigureServices method, add the configuration for the MapQuest service:

using Geo.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
.
.
.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    .
    .
    .
    var builder = services.AddMapQuestGeocoding();
    builder.AddKey(your_mapquest_api_key_here);
    builder.HttpClientBuilder.ConfigureHttpClient(configure_client);
    .
    .
    .
}

MapQuest has 2 endpoint types, open and licensed. They are not able to be used together. For more information, refer to the MapQuest Terms of Service. To specify whether to use the licensed endpoint or not, call the options method UseLicensedEndpoints. The default endpoint that is used is the open endpoint.

using Geo.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
.
.
.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    .
    .
    .
    var builder = services.AddMapQuestGeocoding();
    builder.AddKey(your_mapquest_api_key_here);
    builder.UseLicensedEndpoints();
    builder.HttpClientBuilder.ConfigureHttpClient(configure_client);
    .
    .
    .
}

Sample Usage

By calling AddMapQuestGeocoding, the IMapQuestGeocoding interface has been added to the IOC container. Just request it as a DI item:

public MyService(IMapQuestGeocoding mapQuestGeocoding)
{
    ...
}

Now simply call the geocoding methods in the interface.
