The free-form text query to match addresses against. This is usually a partially typed address from an end user in an address box or form.

--query-components (structure)

A structured free text query allows you to search for places by the name or text representation of specific properties of the place.

Country -> (string)

The alpha-2 or alpha-3 character code for the country that the results will be present in.

Region -> (string)

The region or state results should be to be present in.

Example: North Rhine-Westphalia .

SubRegion -> (string)

An alphanumeric string included in a postal address to facilitate mail sorting, such as post code, postcode, or ZIP code for which the result should posses.

Shorthand Syntax:

Country=string,Region=string,SubRegion=string,Locality=string,District=string,Street=string,AddressNumber=string,PostalCode=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Country": "string",
  "Region": "string",
  "SubRegion": "string",
  "Locality": "string",
  "District": "string",
  "Street": "string",
  "AddressNumber": "string",
  "PostalCode": "string"
}

--max-results (integer)

An optional limit for the number of results returned in a single call.

--bias-position (list)

The position, in longitude and latitude, that the results should be close to. Typically, place results returned are ranked higher the closer they are to this position. Stored in [lng, lat] and in the WSG84 format.

Note

The fields BiasPosition , FilterBoundingBox , and FilterCircle are mutually exclusive.

(double)

Syntax:

double double ...

--filter (structure)

A structure which contains a set of inclusion/exclusion properties that results must posses in order to be returned as a result.

IncludeCountries -> (list)

A list of countries that all results must be in. Countries are represented by either their alpha-2 or alpha-3 character codes.

(string)

IncludePlaceTypes -> (list)

The included place types.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

IncludeCountries=string,string,IncludePlaceTypes=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "IncludeCountries": ["string", ...],
  "IncludePlaceTypes": ["Locality"|"PostalCode"|"Intersection"|"Street"|"PointAddress"|"InterpolatedAddress", ...]
}

--additional-features (list)

A list of optional additional parameters, such as time zone, that can be requested for each result.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

Where valid values are:
  TimeZone
  Access

--language (string)

A list of BCP 47 compliant language codes for the results to be rendered in. If there is no data for the result in the requested language, data will be returned in the default language for the entry.

--political-view (string)

The alpha-2 or alpha-3 character code for the political view of a country. The political view applies to the results of the request to represent unresolved territorial claims through the point of view of the specified country.

--intended-use (string)

Possible values:

SingleUse
Storage

--key (string)

Optional: The API key to be used for authorization. Either an API key or valid SigV4 signature must be provided when making a request.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
