Juraj Borza commented on CAMEL-12554:
-------------------------------------
Hi,
I'd like to take up this issue.
Note: camel-geocoder uses the soon-to-be-terminated free geoip in case the
location is set to 'current' with this:
{code:java}
String json =
exchange.getContext().getTypeConverter().mandatoryConvertTo(String.class, new
URL("https://freegeoip.net/json/";));{code}
For the proper geocoding it's using [https://code.google.com/p/geocoder-java/]
which is using Google Places API
([https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/3/geocoder|https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/3/geocoder)]),
which coincidentally is going to have _New pricing changes will go into effect
starting July 16, 2018._ This means that it won't be possible to use the
service without an API key.
The API key support seems to be present in the library camel-geocoder uses, and
as the users will have to use a Google API key, we could switch to Google
Geolocation API for the 'current location' lookup as well using the same API
key as opposed to switching to ipstack.com, where an API key is necessary as
well.
In addition, there seems to be a community supported client library for Google
Maps API Web Services at
[https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-java] - which might be a
better choice than the original geocoder-java one.
Cheers,
Juraj
