Use new GeoSearch API
allthesignals opened this issue · comments
Hello! First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining this awesome tool. I just used it myself.
For what it's worth, I think we can improve the geocoding experience by using the new GeoSearch API that my team at DCP released. It is an autocomplete API like Google Maps (each keystroke is a new request to find possible matches). All suggested matches return a BBL, which can be used as a lookup in PLUTO. Currently, GeoSupport's API requires an additional step of selecting borough, and I think autocomplete is an overall better user experience.
Our team uses our new API in several in-production applications.
Thanks for your time, and if I can help, let me know! Happy to pull request.
@allthesignals my apologies for just getting back to you now about this a month later!
It would be great to incorporate the GeoSearch API that DCP has released. I agree that having autocomplete would be a much better UX than manually selecting the Borough name from a dropdown.
Please feel free to submit a PR if you are still interested!
implemented in #58!
@clhenrick awesome!
