Arguments

search_text

The text to search, formatted as a character string. Can be an address, a location, or a description of a point of interest.

structured_input

A named list of structured address inputs, to be used in place of search_text when more formal address inputs are desired. Available parameters, to be used as the names of list elements, include 'address_line1', 'address_number', 'street', 'block', 'place', 'region', 'locality', 'neighborhood', and 'country'. See here for more documentation: https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/geocoding/#forward-geocoding-with-structured-input.

permanent

Either FALSE (the default) when results are not intended to be stored, or TRUE if the results are planned to be stored.

autocomplete

Whether or not to return autocomplete results. Defaults to FALSE.

limit

How many results to return; defaults to 1 (maximum 10).

types

A vector of feature types to limit to which the search should be limited. Available options include 'country', 'region', 'postcode', 'district', 'place', 'locality', 'neighborhood', 'address', street, block, address. and 'secondary_address'. If left blank, all types will be searched.

search_within

An sf object, or vector representing a bounding box of format c(min_longitude, min_latitude, max_longitude, max_latitude) used to limit search results. Defaults to NULL.

language

The user's language, which can help with interpretation of queries. Available languages are found at https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/#language-coverage.

country

A character string or vector of ISO 3166 alpha-2 country codes within which you would like to limit your search.

proximity

Either a vector of coordinates or an IP address string to bias the results to favor locations near to the input location.

worldview

Returns features intended for different regional or cultural groups. The US ('us') world view is returned by default.

output

one of "text" (the default), which will return a character string or list of character strings representing the returned results; output = "sf", returning an sf object; or "full", which will return a list with the full API response.

access_token

The Mapbox access token (required); can be set with mb_access_token()

coordinates

The coordinates of a location in format c(longitude, latitude) for which you'd like to return information.

Value

A character vector, list, or sf object representing the query results.
