| Geocoding codes |
The Web interface solution for Address Manager is available on the ArcWeb site.
NOTE: The Web interface solution available through the ArcWeb site is based on v2 functionality. Since Address Manager v2 does not support reverse geocoding (findAddressesByPoint), find by IP (findLocationsByIP), and find by phone number (findLocationsByPhoneNumber), neither does this solution.
File uploads are supported through the Web-interface only. They are not supported through SOAP.
A file upload can contain up to 1 million records or 10 MB worth of data.
Files are stored on the ESRI server for 30 days from the day you upload them.
Address Manager charges two times the Address Finder credit charge for each geocoded address or reverse geocoded location. Results can be stored locally and made available to other applications. Pricing is based on the actual data source used. There is no cost for attempted requests that fail.
Partial address support means that if you do not provide the complete address, you can still get a list of candidates based on the information you have entered. For example, if you only enter a city name, the result list contains cities whose name matches the name you entered. Address Finder can perform four levels of geocoding, with levels 3 and 4 representing partial address geocoding.
Level 1: House-level geocoding, returning the x,y coordinates of a complete address, such as 380 New York St, Redlands, CA 92373
Level 2: Intersection geocoding, returning the x,y coordinates of the intersection of two cross streets, such as New York St AT Pine Ave, Redlands, CA 92373
Level 3: Street-level geocoding, returning the centroids of each street segment and area, such as 100-200 New York St, 92373 or New York St, 92373
Level 4: Place-level geocoding, returning the centroid of the place, such as Redlands, CA
To turn on partial address support, first use the method getInfo to see which data sources support partial addresses, then set the object parameter AddressFinderOptions.partialAddress="true".
The following list shows the possible address combinations you can input to Address Manager to receive geocoding information.

Address Manager, through the ArcWeb site, always returns ZIP+4 for house-level geocoding (e.g., 92373-8118). In the SOAP interface, you can specify ZIP or ZIP+4.
Netscape 7.0x does not support file uploads
Netscape 7.0x does not support address file uploads. To upload your address files, update your Netscape browser to 7.1x or use a different browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla.
Address Manager supports the native language of the geocoding country.
IP address geocoding often returns results for the organization that owns the IP address block instead of the actual computer IP address. This is because IP address geocoding does not consider private IPs, virtual private networks (VPNs), or internal network blocks. In the case of America Online (AOL), which uses proxies to manage its vast network traffic, users are identified with "aol" in the region and city field and a general rounded latitude/longitude point (meant to represent the center of the United States).
P.O. Boxes are geocoded to the ZIP Code centroid. The centroid is calculated based on the streets in that postal code area.
