Exception Codes: Geocode Service (Geocoding API) - geo_addressing_sdk - global_geocoding - 5.0

If the server throws an exception, the REST web service will return the exception code and an accompanying exception message over the network to the client. The exception code provides a general error description; the exception message provides a more specific indication of the cause of the exception.

In the following example a GET request to the Geocode Service contains an incorrect geocodeType "a".

GET http://10.24.48.217:8082/Geocode/rest
/GeocodeService/geocode.json?mainAddress=
330%20Front%20St.%20W%20TORONTO%20ON%20M5V%203B7
&country=can&geocodeType=a HTTP/1.1  

The server returns the following error:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
            Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
            exceptionCode: INVALID_CLIENT_INPUT
            exceptionMsg: Invalid geocodeType value: A
