mz_geocode_structured {rmapzen}

Geocode a structured address

Description

mz_geocode allows you to search using an unstructured string of text, but if your address data has more structure (eg separate columns for address, city, state, zip), then using the structured search service may provide more precision. For more information, see https://github.com/pelias/documentation/. Note that all of the arguments are optional, but at least one of them must be non-NULL. Furthermore, postalcode can not be used by itself.
