Search - Post Search Inside Geometry

Reference

Service:: Maps

API Version:: 1.0

Use to perform free form searches inside a one more more geometries.

The Post Search Inside Geometry API is and HTTP POST request that allows you to perform a free form search inside a single geometry or multiple geometries. The search results that fall inside the geometry/geometries will be returned. To send the geometry you will use a POSTrequest where the request body will contain thegeometryobject represented as aGeoJSONtype and theContent-Typeheader will be set toapplication/json. The geographical features to be searched can be modeled as Polygon and/or Circle geometries represented using any one of the following GeoJSONtypes:<ul><li>**GeoJSON FeatureCollection** Thegeometrycan be represented as aGeoJSON FeatureCollectionobject. This is the recommended option if the geometry contains both Polygons and Circles. TheFeatureCollectioncan contain a max of 50GeoJSON Featureobjects. EachFeatureobject should represent either a Polygon or a Circle with the following conditions:<ul style="list-style-type:none"><li>AFeatureobject for the Polygon geometry can have a max of 50 coordinates and it's properties must be empty.</li><li>AFeatureobject for the Circle geometry is composed of a _center_ represented using aGeoJSON Pointtype and a _radius_ value (in meters) which must be specified in the object's properties along with the _subType_ property whose value should be 'Circle'.</li></ul> Please see the Examples section below for a sampleFeatureCollectionrepresentation. </li><li>**GeoJSON GeometryCollection** Thegeometrycan be represented as aGeoJSON GeometryCollectionobject. This is the recommended option if the geometry contains a list of Polygons only. TheGeometryCollectioncan contain a max of 50GeoJSON Polygonobjects. EachPolygonobject can have a max of 50 coordinates. Please see the Examples section below for a sampleGeometryCollectionrepresentation. </li><li>**GeoJSON Polygon** Thegeometrycan be represented as aGeoJSON Polygonobject. This is the recommended option if the geometry contains a single Polygon. ThePolygonobject can have a max of 50 coordinates. Please see the Examples section below for a samplePolygon` representation.

URI Parameters

Name	In	Required	Type	Description
format	path	True	ResponseFormat	Desired format of the response. Value can be either json or xml.
api-version	query	True	string	Version number of Azure Maps API.
query	query	True	string	The POI name to search for (e.g., "statue of liberty", "starbucks", "pizza"). Must be properly URL encoded.
categorySet	query		integer[]	A comma-separated list of category set IDs which could be used to restrict the result to specific Points of Interest categories. ID order does not matter. Maximum number of `categorySet` values supported per request is 10. When multiple category identifiers are provided, only POIs that belong to (at least) one of the categories from the provided list will be returned. The list of supported categories can be discovered using POI Categories API. Usage examples: categorySet=7315 (Search Points of Interest from category Restaurant) categorySet=7315025,7315017 (Search Points of Interest of category either Italian or French Restaurant)
extendedPostalCodesFor	query		SearchIndexes[]	Indexes for which extended postal codes should be included in the results. Available indexes are: Addr = Address ranges Geo = Geographies PAD = Point Addresses POI = Points of Interest Str = Streets XStr = Cross Streets (intersections) Value should be a comma separated list of index types (in any order) or None for no indexes. By default extended postal codes are included for all indexes except Geo. Extended postal code lists for geographies can be quite long so they have to be explicitly requested when needed. Usage examples: extendedPostalCodesFor=POI extendedPostalCodesFor=PAD,Addr,POI extendedPostalCodesFor=None Extended postal code is returned as an extendedPostalCode property of an address. Availability is region-dependent.
idxSet	query		SearchIndexes[]	A comma separated list of indexes which should be utilized for the search. Item order does not matter. Available indexes are: Addr = Address range interpolation, Geo = Geographies, PAD = Point Addresses, POI = Points of interest, Str = Streets, Xstr = Cross Streets (intersections)
language	query		string	Language in which search results should be returned. Should be one of supported IETF language tags, case insensitive. When data in specified language is not available for a specific field, default language is used. Please refer to Supported Languages for details.
limit	query		integer	Maximum number of responses that will be returned. Default: 10, minimum: 1 and maximum: 100
openingHours	query		OperatingHoursRange	Hours of operation for a POI (Points of Interest). The availability of hours of operation will vary based on the data available. If not passed, then no opening hours information will be returned. Supported value: nextSevenDays
view	query		LocalizedMapView	The View parameter (also called the "user region" parameter) allows you to show the correct maps for a certain country/region for geopolitically disputed regions. Different countries/regions have different views of such regions, and the View parameter allows your application to comply with the view required by the country/region your application will be serving. By default, the View parameter is set to “Unified” even if you haven’t defined it in the request. It is your responsibility to determine the location of your users, and then set the View parameter correctly for that location. Alternatively, you have the option to set ‘View=Auto’, which will return the map data based on the IP address of the request. The View parameter in Azure Maps must be used in compliance with applicable laws, including those regarding mapping, of the country/region where maps, images and other data and third party content that you are authorized to access via Azure Maps is made available. Example: view=IN. Please refer to Supported Views for details and to see the available Views.

Request Header

Security

AADToken

These are the Microsoft Entra OAuth 2.0 Flows. When paired with Azure role-based access control it can be used to control access to Azure Maps REST APIs. Azure role-based access controls are used to designate access to one or more Azure Maps resource account or sub-resources. Any user, group, or service principal can be granted access via a built-in role or a custom role composed of one or more permissions to Azure Maps REST APIs.

To implement scenarios, we recommend viewing authentication concepts. In summary, this security definition provides a solution for modeling application(s) via objects capable of access control on specific APIs and scopes.

Note

This security definition requires the use of the x-ms-client-id header to indicate which Azure Maps resource the application is requesting access to. This can be acquired from the Maps management API.
The Authorization URL is specific to the Azure public cloud instance. Sovereign clouds have unique Authorization URLs and Microsoft Entra ID configurations.
The Azure role-based access control is configured from the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.
Usage of the Azure Maps Web SDK allows for configuration based setup of an application for multiple use cases.
For more information on Microsoft identity platform, see Microsoft identity platform overview.

Type: oauth2
Flow: implicit

https://atlas.microsoft.com/.default	https://atlas.microsoft.com/.default

subscription-key

This is a shared key that is provisioned when you Create an Azure Maps account in the Azure portal or using PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST API.

With this key, any application can access all REST API. In other words, this key can be used as a master key in the account that they are issued in.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to use the confidential client applications approach to access Azure Maps REST APIs so your key can be securely stored.

Type: apiKey
In: query

SAS Token

This is a shared access signature token is created from the List SAS operation on the Azure Maps resource through the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.

With this token, any application is authorized to access with Azure role-based access controls and fine-grain control to the expiration, rate, and region(s) of use for the particular token. In other words, the SAS Token can be used to allow applications to control access in a more secured way than the shared key.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to configure a specific list of allowed origins on the Map account resource to limit rendering abuse and regularly renew the SAS Token.

Different countries/regions have different views of such regions, and the View parameter allows your application to comply with the view required by the country/region your application will be serving. By default, the View parameter is set to “Unified” even if you haven’t defined it in the request. It is your responsibility to determine the location of your users, and then set the View parameter correctly for that location. Alternatively, you have the option to set ‘View=Auto’, which will return the map data based on the IP address of the request. The View parameter in Azure Maps must be used in compliance with applicable laws, including those regarding mapping, of the country/region where maps, images and other data and third party content that you are authorized to access via Azure Maps is made available. Example: view=IN. Please refer to Supported Views for details and to see the available Views.
