I have the following geocoder service: https://geodata.md.gov/imap/rest/services/GeocodeServices/MD_CompositeLocator/GeocodeServer?f=pjson
I want to use this in the tidygeocoder library
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tidygeocoder/vignettes/tidygeocoder.html
But I want to use the maryland geocoder instead of the Google or Censu geocoders. How would I set up the script to do this? Ideally I could add a new method of geocoding which uses the Maryland geocoder.
There's a comprehensive list of what to do to add a new method to the package here. However, to start you could try using the get_api_query and query_api functions to execute a query. You'll then need to extract the relevant data from the response and put it into dataframe format (the job of the extract_results function). Good luck and feel free to file an issue or reach out if you have questions.

First time using api-platform and Symfony 4 to create an API interface for a MySQL db.
I'm updating an old search interface for the db for which I need to replicate many of the search options. This includes being able to search on a given field using various matching operators/strategies. e.g. starts with, contains exactly equals, etc.
I've set everything up for the api using Annotations.
The #ApiFilter(SearchFilter::class, properties={"fieldname": "strategy"} annotation on my table class works as designed, but I am limited to one-and-only-one strategy per field. I need to be able to pass the strategy to the api search function in the url. something like:
/api/staff?lastname[start]=dav
or
/api/staff?lastname=david&match=contains
or
/api/staff/lastname/son?searchtype=end
would be fine.
I can't figure out how to set this up. Shockingly, to me anyway, this common requirement doesn't seem to be documented at all.
The file CustomSearchFilter.php located at the repo https://github.com/jordonedavidson/custom_search_filter solves this use-case using the
/api/staff?lastname[start]=dav
syntax.
The file was written by Kévin Dunglas (the author of Api Platform) and is presented with his blessing.
Is there a way to open a specified document, eg "production order 123" or form, eg "purchase orders" in Ax2012 from an external application directly?
In detail, I'm looking for something similiar like AXPath, but this doesn't work with versions greater then 2009.
Is there any ( maybe included ) way to achieve this?
There is! It's using AX's drilldown functionality which uses AxHLink.exe to handle dynamics:// URLs, which are passed to the Classes\SysStartupCmd function. You could also create some custom code there if you wanted to launch the AX client executable directly.
My question I asked some while back should have a great deal of useful information in it here:
What handles dynamics:// URLs?
Some more can be found: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa834337.aspx
EDIT:
It sounds like you are confused or the posts weren't clear enough. I think you have 3 basic options.
Dynamics:// URLs are handled by AxHLink.exe and they only seem to handle drilldown, viewalert, and viewalertrule. So if you want to use Dynamics:// URLs, you will need to hi-jack those somehow. There is a pastbin from Jan in that other stack post.
Create a custom URI handler and event poller (lot of work) see http://axcoder.blogspot.dk/2010/10/how-to-open-form-in-running-ax-from.html
Extend SysStartupCmd and then instead of using Dynamics:// URLs, just call Ax32.exe -startupCmd directly and a parameter can be passed to your custom class.
I need to display google map with zip code boundaries like this
http://maps.huge.info/zip.htm
Perhaps I am overlooking it, but I've not been to find examples of this and documentation talking about this specifically at Google Maps API documentation. I've trying doing a view source on the above web page link, but it doesn't seem obvious to me how it works. There is also other stuff on the page which I don't know if it's part of what I need or not.
Some simple code examples would be very helpful! Thanks!
If anyone still looking for the solution here is how I managed to draw boundaries.
Download zip file from http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2014/ZCTA5/tl_2014_us_zcta510.zip (its around 500mb)
Unzip it, u need the shp file from the extracted files
On windows u need to install QGIS, to get the ogr2ogr utility
Run the command to get geoJSON file from shp file:
ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" -lco COORDINATE_PRECISION=4 -simplify 0.00010 zipRegions.json tl_2014_us_zcta510.shp
You can play with simplify to remove extra points and compress your data
Create free account on cartodb
Upload zipRegions.json file there
Now using cartodb.js file you can draw zip code regions on google maps easily
Simply by code like this
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(42.1038846,-72.5868353),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), mapOptions);
cartodb.createLayer(map, {
user_name: 'your_user_name',
type: 'cartodb',
sublayers: [
{
sql: "SELECT * FROM cartodb1",
cartocss: '#cartodb1 {polygon-fill: #7bd490;polygon-opacity: 0.7;line-color: #6da57a;line-width: 0.5;line-opacity: 1;}'
}
]})
.addTo(map, 0) // add the layer to our map which already contains 1 sublayer
.done(function(layer) {
console.log('Fine');
})
.error(function(e) {
console.log(e);
});
Google Maps API will not provide you with this data. You need an external source. A Fusion Table could be of some help. You can check this one *.
You then need to create your own layers from the KML data that is in the table. There is documentation about it.
You can render the data directly from the Fusion Table or import it to your own database, which is often preferable for performance.
Hope this helps to get you started. Try to find your way and if you are stuck, then ask another question and show us your code as the first comment suggests.
* FusionTables was discontinued on 3 December 2019.
Working on the same thing and found boundaries-io way too expensive for our use case.

Much larger data set
Much more affordable
I parsed the 2016 census kml file (over 150MB) to over 32,000 individual kml files you can use as a kml layer for your maps.
I put a zip file here:
https://github.com/tomeralmog/zipcode-kml
Hope this helps
A Very Simply API exists for this query by zipcode,city,etc.. returns geoJson

I know this is a relatively old question and #tomer-almog has done some great work making KML files, but I stumbled on this free resource (no relation, just using the data) that has zip code data in verious geo formats (GeoJSON, KML, etc)

Might be usefull for someone....
The main Data Type used by Yahoo Pipes is the [Item], which is RSS feed content. I want to take an RSS's content or sub-element, make it into [Text] (or a number might work), and then use it as an INPUT into a [Module] to build a RSS-URL with specific parameters. I will then use the new RSS-URL to pull more content.
Could possibly use the [URL Builder Module] or some work-around.
The key here is using "dynamic" data from an RSS feed (not user input, or a static data), and getting that data into a Data Type that is compatible (and/or accessible) as an INPUT into a module.
It seems like a vital functionality, but I cannot figure it out. I have tried many, many work-around attempts, with no success.
The Specific API and Methods (if you are interested)
Using the LastFM API.
1st Method: user.getWeeklyChartList. Then pick the "from" (start) and "to" (end) Unix timestamps from 1 year-ago-today.
2nd Method: user.getWeeklyAlbumChart using those specific (and "dynamic") timestamps to pull my top albums for that week.
tl;dr. Build an RSS-URL using specific parameters from another RSS feed's content.
I think I may have figured it out. I doubt it is the best way, but it works. The problem was the module I needed to use didn't have and input node. But the Loop module has an input node, so if I embed the URL builder into the Loop module I can then access sub-element content from the 1st feed to use as parameters to build the URL for the 2nd feed! Then I can just scrap all the extra stuff generated by the Loop, by using Truncate.
If I have a KmlPolygon object, how might I convert this to a KML string? This functionality would allow you to save whatever has been modelled and use it as a layer in Google Earth desktop for instance, or even load it back into the web plugin.
EDIT
This would do the opposite of fetchKml.
Found it. You can use the getKml() function of KmlFeature to return the KML string. You can also add multiple KmlPolygon objects by constructing a KmlDocument using the dom.buildDocument() of the utility library, and then using getKml() on that.
