HTTP Yahoo Geocoder

From fmepedia


Created by Mark Ireland

A Geocoder takes addresses as input and creates geocoded points, i.e. points with an X/Y or Lat/Long co-ordinate.


Like Dmitri's Python Yahoo Geocoder, this transformer uses Yahoo! Maps Web Services - Geocoding API (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html). The advantage with this transformer is that it doesn't require Python to be installed because it uses FME's new HTTPFetcher transformer to deliver the Request URL.



Above: The custom transformer. Most of the work is in setting up the query URL and handling the results.
