AWS location geocoding returning error
Hi, I am trying to use AWS to geocode with input, but I am getting errors, I think there is something wrong with my syntax, but I cannot figure out what:
My code:
- client = AWS.Client.create(System.fetch_env!(“AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID”), System.fetch_env!
(“AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY”), “eu-west-1”) - AWS.Location.search_place_index_for_text(client, “site_addresses”, “2 Water Lane”)
“site_addresses” is my index name and the address I am searching is “2 Water Lane”
I am following the docs:
This is the error I am getting back:
Thanks!

FWIW, posting log output in triple-backticks (```) will format it nicely and is more readable than a screenshot.
In this case the important part is at the very end of the line that wraps:
and is_map(payload)
The AWS request machinery expects a map shaped like the payload in the AWS docs:
{
"Text": "Any Town",
"MaxResults": 10
}
Your second line could be instead:
AWS.Location.search_place_index_for_text(client, “site_addresses”, %{"Text" => “2 Water Lane”})

The root cause was that we were not considering the “host prefix” some services require it. The problem is now fixed in version 0.13.0 of the AWS package. Thanks @shirawebill for reporting this!
