Find places in a bounding box

Learn how to perform a text-based search to find places within a bounding box.

Find places in a bounding box using API key authentication

The ArcGIS Places service allows you to find places within an extent. An extent typically represents the visible area of a map. 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, use ArcGIS REST JS to perform a bounding box search based on the visible extent on the map and return details about each place. You also use Calcite components to create a basic search interface.

Prerequisites

An ArcGIS Location Platform account.

Steps

Get the starter app

Select a type of authentication and follow the steps to create a new app.

Choose API key authentication if you:

Want the easiest way to get started.
Want to build public applications that access ArcGIS Location Services and secure items.
Have an ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.

Choose user authentication if you:

Want to build private applications.
Require application users to sign in with their own ArcGIS account and access resources their behalf.
Have an ArcGIS Online account.

To learn more about both types of authentication, go to Authentication.

You can choose one of the following to create a new CodePen:

Option 1: Complete the Display a map tutorial; or,
Option 2: Start from the Display a map tutorial .

Set up authentication

Create a new API key credential with the correct privileges to get an access token.

Go to the Create an API key tutorial and create an API key with the following privilege(s):
- Privileges
  - Location services > Basemaps
  - Location services > Places

Set developer credentials

Use the API key or OAuth developer credentials so your application can access ArcGIS services.

Update the accessToken variable to use your API key.

Use dark colors for code blocks
    /* Use for API key authentication */
    const accessToken = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN";
Expand

In both the index.html and callback.html files, replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_REDIRECT_URL with the client ID and redirect URL of your OAuth credentials.

index.html
Use dark colors for code blocks
    /* Use for user authentication */
    const clientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"; // Your client ID from OAuth credentials
    const redirectUri = ""YOUR_REDIRECT_URI""; // The redirect URL registered in your OAuth credentials
    const session = await arcgisRest.ArcGISIdentityManager.beginOAuth2({
      clientId,
      redirectUri,
      portal: "https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest" // Your portal URL
    });

    const accessToken = session.token;

callback.html
Use dark colors for code blocks
    arcgisRest.ArcGISIdentityManager.completeOAuth2({
      clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", // Your client ID from OAuth credentials
      redirectUri: "YOUR_REDIRECT_URI", // The redirect URL registered in your OAuth credentials
      portal: "https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest" // Your portal URL
    });

Run the app and ensure you can sign in successfully.

If you are unable to sign in, make sure you have the correct redirect URL and port. This URL varies based on your application and typically takes the format of https://<server>[:port]/callback.html or http://my-arcgis-app:/auth. For example, if you are running an application on http://127.0.0.1:5500/, set http://127.0.0.1:5500/callback.html as your redirect URL in the index.html and callback.html file and your developer credential. They all have to match!

Add script references

Reference the ArcGIS REST JS request and places packages to perform a bounding box search operation. You also reference the Calcite library to create the user interface.

Reference the routing and request packages from ArcGIS REST JS.

Find places in the map bounds

Calculate the current visible extent of the OpenLayers map with calculateExtent. Transform the extent into WGS84 coordinates (EPSG:4326) for use with the places API.

Use dark colors for code blocks
        function showPlaces(query) {

          const extent = map.getView().calculateExtent();
          const bounds = ol.proj.transformExtent(extent, "EPSG:3857", "EPSG:4326");

        };

Use the ArcGIS REST JS findPlacesWithinExtent function to make a request to the Places service. Set the searchText parameter to your query and pass the current map bounding box to the xmin,xmax,ymin, and ymax parameters.

Use dark colors for code blocks
        function showPlaces(query) {

          const extent = map.getView().calculateExtent();
          const bounds = ol.proj.transformExtent(extent, "EPSG:3857", "EPSG:4326");

          arcgisRest.findPlacesWithinExtent({
            xmin: bounds[0],
            ymin: bounds[1],
            xmax: bounds[2],
            ymax: bounds[3],

            authentication,
            f: "geojson"
          })

        };

Display results

The response from the Places service will contain a list of place results. Each result will include a place's x/y coordinates, name, category, and unique ID.

Create an empty Vector layer to store service results. When a new request is made, clear the data in the layer.

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.

The user of your app should be able to click on a place result to view more information about that place. Create a popup that will display when the user clicks on a place.

Create a Popup and add it to your map as an overlay. Hide the popup when a new request is made.

Get place address and phone number

You can access more information about a place using the unique placeId associated with it. Perform a subsequent request to the Places service to get the street address and phone number of a clicked POI.

Use the ArcGIS REST JS getPlaceDetails function to get detailed information about a specific place. Pass the placeId associated with the current marker, and set the requestedFields parameter to return the streetAddress and telephone properties.
