Learn how to perform a text-based search to find places within a bounding box.
A bounding box search finds places within an extent using the places service . An extent typically represents the visible area of a map.
To perform a bounding box search, you use the places package from ArcGIS REST JS. With the results of the search, you can make another request to the service and return place attributes such as street address and telephone number.
In this tutorial, you use ArcGIS REST JS to perform a bounding box search based on the visible extent on the map and return details about each place. It includes starter code that uses Calcite components to create a basic search interface.
Prerequisites Steps Get the starter code To get started, use this CodePen . It contains the Calcite Components necessary to create this application, as well as a blank Leaflet map. Set the API key To access location services , you need an API key or OAuth 2.0 access token . To learn how to create and scope your key, visit the Create an API key tutorial.
Go to your dashboard to get an API key. The API key must be scoped to access the services used in this tutorial.
In CodePen , update api to use your key. Update cesium to use your Cesium ion access token .

Run the app. When you click a category button or search for a phrase, the map should display a set of points representing place results.
Display the place address and phone number You can access more information about a place by using the unique place associated with it. Configure a popup that will perform a get request when the user clicks on an entity. Display the address and phone number of the clicked location.
Create a new Screen for the viewer to listen for clicks in the scene. Add a conditional statement to only take action if the user clicked on an entity.
