Overview

Class GeocoderClient represents server request of geocoding API (calculate the location to use for a posting based on location-specific details within the posting such as a street address or a latitude and longitude value).

Its methods are used to query API with appropriate requests: geocode(requests) - returns array of responses

Example:

client = GeocoderClient.new
request = GeocoderRequest.new
request.latitude = '37.77493'
request.longitude = '-122.41942'

response = client.geocode(request)

response.first.code       # => "CAZ"
response.first.latitude   # => 39.77493
response.first.longitude  # => -122.41942
