The code in geocode_client.dart sets a custom User-Agent value of geocode (dart:io). I believe this was done to avoid [issues with requests being blocked by geocode.xyz])(#20).

When I build and run a web application using this package, an error occurs since Chrome won't send a custom User-Agent as part of an XMLHttpRequest call. Therefore, inside a web app, I believe calls to perform geocoding always fail.

Am I correct that the User-Agent header is needed to make the request be accepted by geocode.xyz? And if so, is there a work around to allow a web application to work?

Hi guys ! First of all, thank you very much to those who contributed to this package, it's really easy to use and a great way to get geocode working for the web or any platform !

I was wondering if maybe there could be a way to deal with the accuracy issues of https://geocode.xyz/, or if any developer had come out with an idea to prevent problematics such as mine : if I type, for example, "20 boulevard du Roi René, Aix-En-Provence" it finds the address properly, but if I type "20 boulevard du Roi René, Aix En Provence" (without the dashes), it takes me to a city in Thailand.

I don't know what the best solution could be, but maybe having access to the Confidence Score could already be a good start ? Or be able to change the "region" parameter (apparently it's possible to constraint the search to an area/country, but I'm not sure it's a free feature), what do you think ?

Thank you :)

PS: I'm a noob so I apologise in advance if some parts of my question sound senseless

I was going to get address with cordinates. but I got the message from geocode.xyz.

var coordinates = await geoCode.forwardGeocoding(address: prediction.description);

This line is returning 20.6847, -103.2189

The correct coordinates are 20.686010, -103.423210

This is an example but most of the addresses I'm trying return the wrong coordinates. What am I doing wrong? This used to work fine.

I get this error output,

flutter: [Error]: (-1) Unknown error. Try again.

What do i do please

The issue is, I'm receiving coordinates from a completely different country.
is there a way to specify the locale identifier?

geoCode.forwardGeocoding(address: street, locale: "nl_NL")

or

geoCode.reverseGeocoding(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude, locale: "nl_NL");

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi, I was trying your library and ran into this error. I am not able to extract the data from reverseGeocoding if I try like this:

try{
      Address newAddress = await GeoCode().reverseGeocoding(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude);
      print(newAddress.city);
    } catch (e) {
      print(e);
    }

Error : type '_InternalLinkedHashMap<String, dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'String'

Reverse Geocode does not return state - try with any US address - region returns country and country also returns country

GeoCode(apiKey: kGoogleApiKey)
I added google map apikey but it shows

Unhandled Exception: [Error]: (006) Request Throttled. Over Rate limit: up to 2 per sec. See geocode.xyz/pricing

please help

Description

• I have created a flutter app and recents the forwardGeocoding function has stopped working as I would expect.
  • The body of the response received seems to be error code: 1020
  • I found this by setting a breakpoint on line 66 of geocode_client.dart
• To verify, I am using the exact line of code specified in the pub.dev example, var response = await GeoCode().forwardGeocoding(address: locality);
• I am not passing in any auth key, as I planned to use the free tier
• I've found through my own research that running the following GET request does work from the browser, but it does not work when running from a mobile application. I'm not sure if that's pertinent here.
  • https://geocode.xyz/Chicago?geoit=json

Misc

• I'm not sure if this issue belongs in this repo, or with the actual owners of geocode.xyz

Hi,
I've seen a few instances using this plugin with the authkey sending the wrong GET request to the API.
Namely:
/36.7928505,-3.8995182&auth=authkey?geoit=json
instead of the correct one:
/36.7928505,-3.8995182?auth=authkey&geoit=json
