tGoogleAddressRow – Docs for ESB 7.x

tGoogleAddressRow

Converts human-readable addresses into geographic coordinates and other
geographic information.

tGoogleAddressRow retrieves geographic information in a two-step
process:

  1. tGoogleAddressRow accesses the Google Places API Text Search Service via a HTTP request
    to get the place_id which uniquely identifies the address you
    provided.
  2. Then, tGoogleAddressRow accesses the Google Places API via a
    HTTP request to obtain geographic coordinates and other geographic information
    according to the place_id of the address you provided. For more
    information, see Place Details.

For further information about Google Places API, see Google Places API Web Service.

Each data row needs one or several calls to the Places API. The quota will
depend on the license provided by Google. Make sure not to run the component on a data
set that exceeds your quota, otherwise you will get error messages and addresses will
not be corrected.

For further information about the usage limits of Google Places
API, see Usage Limits and Billing.

For further information about the terms of services of Google
Places API, see Terms of Service.

tGoogleAddressRow Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tGoogleAddressRow running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tGoogleAddressRow component belongs to the Data Quality family.

This component is available in Talend Data Management Platform, Talend Big Data Platform, Talend Real Time Big Data Platform, Talend Data Services Platform, Talend MDM Platform and Talend Data Fabric.

Basic settings

Pause(in 1/10 seconds)

Time break between http requests for geographic information
record. By default, the value for this field is 1.

Schema and Edit
Schema

A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to
be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is
either Built-in or stored remotely
in the Repository.

 Address column

From this list, select a parameter to be used in sending request
to Google Places API. Parameters in this list are predefined in the
schema of input data.

API key

Enter your API key in this field.

For more information about how to get an
API key, see https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/get-api-key.

Note: Jobs migrated
from releases older than 5.6 will need a key to run. Generate a key and set it
in tGoogleAddressRow basic settings
before running the Job.

The component currently works with
the Google Places API and not the Google Geocoding API as it was the case in
releases older than 5.6. As a result, when you run the migrated Jobs in the
current studio, you will have geographic information different from what you
had in older studios. For example, the Location_type column outputs ROOFTOP
in older releases, while it outputs street_address
now. You can find the list of location types at Place
Types
.

Die on error

This check box is selected by default.

Clear the check box to skip any rows on error and complete the process for
error-free rows. When errors are skipped, you can collect the rows on error using a Row > Reject link.

Advanced settings

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.

Global Variables

Global Variables

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error check box is
cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable
functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl +
Space
to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

Usage

Usage rule

This component is usually used as an intermediate component, and it requires an
input component and an output component.

Obtaining detailed geographic information using address information

This scenario applies only to Talend Data Management Platform, Talend Big Data Platform, Talend Real Time Big Data Platform, Talend Data Services Platform, Talend MDM Platform and Talend Data Fabric.

This scenario describes a three-component Job which send HTTP request to Google Places
API and obtain detailed geographic information based on the address we provided.
