Get Cityname from search result

[fopsdev]

hi there

would like to use the search-rest-api to validate some addresses.

is the search-api using locations-type the right approach?

i'm asking this because perfroming the following request:

https://api3.geo.admin.ch/rest/services/api/SearchServer?type=locations&searchText=paradeplatz%202

results in some not so easy to parse fields like:  "detail":"paradeplatz 2 8001 zuerich 261 zuerich ch zh"  

i can't find the cityname as a standlone attribute here. is this the right way to search for addresses (plz, cityname,...) using fuzzy search?

thanks for any enlightment

To Validate ZIP or  places

 

the use the  find service

http://api.geo.admin.ch/services/sdiservices.html#find

 

Layer with places and ZIP

ch.swisstopo-vd.ortschaftenverzeichnis_plz  (eg https://s.geo.admin.ch/8f465accaf)

 

and have a look for examples

So basically, this one should be the correct kind of request with the ZIP code as the input: https://api3.geo.admin.ch/rest/services/api/MapServer/find?searchText=3084&searchField=plz&layer=ch.swisstopo-vd.ortschaftenverzeichnis_plz&returnGeometry=false

And use the value from the langtext attribute

Yes this the simplest approach
