Geocoding Tool Error

Dear Experts

I have problem on my Geocoding tool when I want to extract a spatial point from the address (Lat, Lon), here is an example on an address in Saudi Arabia :

Dove Plaza، Umm Al Hamam Street, Umm Al Hamam، Umm Al Hamam Al Gharbi, Riyadh 12322

When I connect it to the geocoding street tool it gives the following error as it shows below:

This is because there is no Geocoding database available, how I can get the Geocode database mentioned in the picture above?

How I can use it with Google Map API key ?

The Street Geocoder tool is designed to use installed spatial data products licensed from Alteryx. You'll need to contact your Alteryx representative to inquire about the pricing and availability of those datasets.

If you have a Google Map API key, I imagine you could use the Download tool to execute those API calls without any additional products.

Hi @MAAbdullahAlMubarah

@CharlieS is right - to use the Street Geocoder tool you need an offline geocoding dataset built by Alteryx as part of a Location Insights add-on.

That said, we currently do not have any Location Insights add-on's which cover KSA. So you will need to build your own geocoding tool using a 3rd party API. As I mentioned in another thread you had posted in, our partners at The Information Lab have a great write up on Geocoding with the Google Maps API that you should check out.
