Overview

This node interacts with the Outscraper API to perform geocoding operations. Specifically, it converts address queries into geographic coordinates or location data. It is useful in scenarios where you need to obtain location information from address strings, such as mapping applications, location-based services, or data enrichment tasks.

Use Case Examples

1. Converting a list of addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates for mapping.
2. Validating and standardizing address data by retrieving detailed location information.

Properties

Output

JSON

• location - The geographic location data resulting from the geocoding query, typically including coordinates and address components.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the Outscraper API, including the API URL and API key.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Query' property is a valid and complete address string to get accurate geocoding results.
• If requests fail due to SSL issues, consider enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but be aware of security risks.
• Use the 'Proxy' setting if your network requires routing requests through a proxy server.
• Adjust the 'Timeout' setting if the API response is slow or timing out.
