Overview

This node interacts with the Outscraper API to perform reverse geocoding, which means converting latitude and longitude coordinates into a human-readable address. It is useful in scenarios where you have geographic coordinates and want to find the corresponding location details, such as addresses or place names. For example, it can be used in location-based services, mapping applications, or any workflow that requires translating GPS coordinates into addresses.

Use Case Examples

1. Converting GPS coordinates from a mobile device into a street address.
2. Finding the address of a location based on latitude and longitude for delivery or logistics purposes.

Properties

Output

JSON

• address - The human-readable address or location details returned from the reverse geocoding query.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the Outscraper API to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Query' property is correctly formatted as latitude and longitude separated by a space.
• Check that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
• If requests fail due to SSL issues, consider enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but be aware of security risks.
• If using a proxy, verify the proxy URL and credentials are correct.
• Adjust the timeout setting if requests are timing out due to slow network or server response.
