- Forward and reverse geocoding for addresses and coordinates
- Comprehensive place searches with detailed information, including:
- Business names and addresses
- Contact information
- Hours of operation
- POI (Points of Interest) categories
- Food types for restaurants
- Chain affiliation for relevant businesses
- Global data coverage with a wide range of POI categories
- Regular data updates to ensure accuracy and relevance
## Getting Started
> Examples are available for many services and operations, check out the
> [examples folder in GitHub](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust/tree/main/examples).
The SDK provides one crate per AWS service. You must add [Tokio](https://crates.io/crates/tokio)
as a dependency within your Rust project to execute asynchronous code. To add `aws-sdk-geoplaces` to
your project, add the following to your **Cargo.toml** file:
```toml
[dependencies]
aws-config = { version = "1.1.7", features = ["behavior-version-latest"] }
aws-sdk-geoplaces = "1.37.0"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
```
Then in code, a client can be created with the following:
```rust,no_run
use aws_sdk_geoplaces as geoplaces;
#[::tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), geoplaces::Error> {
let config = aws_config::load_from_env().await;
let client = aws_sdk_geoplaces::Client::new(&config);
// ... make some calls with the client
Ok(())
}
```
See the [client documentation](https://docs.rs/aws-sdk-geoplaces/latest/aws_sdk_geoplaces/client/struct.Client.html)
for information on what calls can be made, and the inputs and outputs for each of those calls.
## Using the SDK
Until the SDK is released, we will be adding information about using the SDK to the
[Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-rust/latest/dg/welcome.html). Feel free to suggest
additional sections for the guide by opening an issue and describing what you are trying to do.
