searchPlaceIndexForPosition

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend you upgrade to ReverseGeocode/location/latest/APIReference/API_geoplaces_ReverseGeocode.html or SearchNearby/location/latest/APIReference/API_geoplaces_SearchNearby.html unless you require Grab data.

  • SearchPlaceIndexForPosition is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Places API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).

  • The version 2 ReverseGeocode operation gives better results in the address reverse-geocoding use case, while the version 2 SearchNearby operation gives better results when searching for businesses and points of interest near a specific location.

  • If you are using an Amazon Web Services SDK or the Amazon Web Services CLI, note that the Places API version 2 is found under geo-places or geo_places, not under location.

  • Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Places API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab. Reverse geocodes a given coordinate and returns a legible address. Allows you to search for Places or points of interest near a given position.
