Client

class LocationService.Client

A low-level client representing Amazon Location Service

"Suite of geospatial services including Maps, Places, Routes, Tracking, and Geofencing"

import boto3

client = boto3.client('location')

These are the available methods:

associate_tracker_consumer(**kwargs)

Creates an association between a geofence collection and a tracker resource. This allows the tracker resource to communicate location data to the linked geofence collection.

You can associate up to five geofence collections to each tracker resource.

Note

Currently not supported — Cross-account configurations, such as creating associations between a tracker resource in one account and a geofence collection in another account.

batch_evaluate_geofences(**kwargs)

Evaluates device positions against the geofence geometries from a given geofence collection.

This operation always returns an empty response because geofences are asynchronously evaluated. The evaluation determines if the device has entered or exited a geofenced area, and then publishes one of the following events to Amazon EventBridge:

  • ENTER if Amazon Location determines that the tracked device has entered a geofenced area.
  • EXIT if Amazon Location determines that the tracked device has exited a geofenced area.

Note

The last geofence that a device was observed within is tracked for 30 days after the most recent device position update.

Note

Geofence evaluation uses the given device position. It does not account for the optional Accuracy of a DevicePositionUpdate .

Note

The DeviceID is used as a string to represent the device. You do not need to have a Tracker associated with the DeviceID .

Parameters
  • CollectionName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The geofence collection storing the geofences.

      • GeofenceId (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The identifier for the geofence to be stored in a given geofence collection.

      • Geometry (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

        Contains the details of the position of the geofence. Can be either a polygon or a circle. Including both will return a validation error.

        Note

        Each geofence polygon can have a maximum of 1,000 vertices.

        • Circle (dict) --

          A circle on the earth, as defined by a center point and a radius.

          • Center (list) -- [REQUIRED]

            A single point geometry, specifying the center of the circle, using WGS 84 coordinates, in the form [longitude, latitude] .

            • (float) --
          • Radius (float) -- [REQUIRED]

            The radius of the circle in meters. Must be greater than zero and no larger than 100,000 (100 kilometers).

        • Polygon (list) --

          A polygon is a list of linear rings which are each made up of a list of vertices.

          Each vertex is a 2-dimensional point of the form: [longitude, latitude] . This is represented as an array of doubles of length 2 (so [double, double] ).

          An array of 4 or more vertices, where the first and last vertex are the same (to form a closed boundary), is called a linear ring. The linear ring vertices must be listed in counter-clockwise order around the ring’s interior. The linear ring is represented as an array of vertices, or an array of arrays of doubles ([[double, double], ...] ).

          A geofence consists of a single linear ring. To allow for future expansion, the Polygon parameter takes an array of linear rings, which is represented as an array of arrays of arrays of doubles ([[[double, double], ...], ...] ).

          A linear ring for use in geofences can consist of between 4 and 1,000 vertices.

batch_update_device_position(**kwargs)

Uploads position update data for one or more devices to a tracker resource. Amazon Location uses the data when it reports the last known device position and position history. Amazon Location retains location data for 30 days.

Note

Position updates are handled based on the PositionFiltering property of the tracker. When PositionFiltering is set to TimeBased , updates are evaluated against linked geofence collections, and location data is stored at a maximum of one position per 30 second interval. If your update frequency is more often than every 30 seconds, only one update per 30 seconds is stored for each unique device ID.

When PositionFiltering is set to DistanceBased filtering, location data is stored and evaluated against linked geofence collections only if the device has moved more than 30 m (98.4 ft).

When PositionFiltering is set to AccuracyBased filtering, location data is stored and evaluated against linked geofence collections only if the device has moved more than the measured accuracy. For example, if two consecutive updates from a device have a horizontal accuracy of 5 m and 10 m, the second update is neither stored or evaluated if the device has moved less than 15 m. If PositionFiltering is set to AccuracyBased filtering, Amazon Location uses the default value { "Horizontal": 0} when accuracy is not provided on a DevicePositionUpdate .

calculate_route(**kwargs)
Calculates a route given the following required parameters: DeparturePosition and DestinationPosition . Requires that you first create a route calculator resource .

By default, a request that doesn't specify a departure time uses the best time of day to travel with the best traffic conditions when calculating the route.

Additional options include:

  • Specifying a departure time using either DepartureTime or DepartNow . This calculates a route based on predictive traffic data at the given time.

Note

You can't specify both DepartureTime and DepartNow in a single request. Specifying both parameters returns a validation error.

  • Specifying a travel mode using TravelMode sets the transportation mode used to calculate the routes. This also lets you specify additional route preferences in CarModeOptions if traveling by Car , or TruckModeOptions if traveling by Truck .

Note

If you specify walking for the travel mode and your data provider is Esri, the start and destination must be within 40km.

calculate_route_matrix(**kwargs)
Calculates a route matrix given the following required parameters: DeparturePositions and DestinationPositions . CalculateRouteMatrix calculates routes and returns the travel time and travel distance from each departure position to each destination position in the request. For example, given departure positions A and B, and destination positions X and Y, CalculateRouteMatrix will return time and distance for routes from A to X, A to Y, B to X, and B to Y (in that order). The number of results returned (and routes calculated) will be the number of DeparturePositions times the number of DestinationPositions .

Note

Your account is charged for each route calculated, not the number of requests.

Requires that you first create a route calculator resource .

By default, a request that doesn't specify a departure time uses the best time of day to travel with the best traffic conditions when calculating routes.

Additional options include:

  • Specifying a departure time using either DepartureTime or DepartNow . This calculates routes based on predictive traffic data at the given time.

    }
)
Parameters
  • Configuration (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the MapConfiguration , including the map style, for the map resource that you create. The map style defines the look of maps and the data provider for your map resource.

    • Style (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Specifies the map style selected from an available data provider.

      Valid Esri map styles :

      • VectorEsriDarkGrayCanvas – The Esri Dark Gray Canvas map style. A vector basemap with a dark gray, neutral background with minimal colors, labels, and features that's designed to draw attention to your thematic content.
      • RasterEsriImagery – The Esri Imagery map style. A raster basemap that provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide.
      • VectorEsriLightGrayCanvas – The Esri Light Gray Canvas map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap with a light gray, neutral background style with minimal colors, labels, and features that's designed to draw attention to your thematic content.
      • VectorEsriTopographic – The Esri Light map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap with a classic Esri map style.
      • VectorEsriStreets – The Esri World Streets map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri street map style. The vector tile layer is similar in content and style to the World Street Map raster map.
      • VectorEsriNavigation – The Esri World Navigation map style, which provides a detailed basemap for the world symbolized with a custom navigation map style that's designed for use during the day in mobile devices.

      Valid HERE Technologies map styles :

      • VectorHereContrast – The HERE Contrast (Berlin) map style is a high contrast detailed base map of the world that blends 3D and 2D rendering.

      Note

      The VectorHereContrast style has been renamed from VectorHereBerlin . VectorHereBerlin has been deprecated, but will continue to work in applications that use it.

      • VectorHereExplore – A default HERE map style containing a neutral, global map and its features including roads, buildings, landmarks, and water features. It also now includes a fully designed map of Japan.
      • VectorHereExploreTruck – A global map containing truck restrictions and attributes (e.g. width / height / HAZMAT) symbolized with highlighted segments and icons on top of HERE Explore to support use cases within transport and logistics.
      • RasterHereExploreSatellite – A global map containing high resolution satellite imagery.

create_tracker(**kwargs)

Creates a tracker resource in your AWS account, which lets you retrieve current and historical location of devices.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.create_tracker(
    Description='string',
    KmsKeyId='string',
    PositionFiltering='TimeBased'|'DistanceBased'|'AccuracyBased',
    PricingPlan='RequestBasedUsage'|'MobileAssetTracking'|'MobileAssetManagement',
    PricingPlanDataSource='string',
    Tags={
        'string': 'string'
    },
    TrackerName='string'
)
Parameters
  • Description (string) -- An optional description for the tracker resource.
  • KmsKeyId (string) -- A key identifier for an AWS KMS customer managed key . Enter a key ID, key ARN, alias name, or alias ARN.
  • PositionFiltering (string) --

    Specifies the position filtering for the tracker resource.

    Valid values:

    • TimeBased - Location updates are evaluated against linked geofence collections, but not every location update is stored. If your update frequency is more often than 30 seconds, only one update per 30 seconds is stored for each unique device ID.
    • DistanceBased - If the device has moved less than 30 m (98.4 ft), location updates are ignored. Location updates within this area are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This helps control costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations and historical device positions to paginate through. Distance-based filtering can also reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map.
    • AccuracyBased - If the device has moved less than the measured accuracy, location updates are ignored. For example, if two consecutive updates from a device have a horizontal accuracy of 5 m and 10 m, the second update is ignored if the device has moved less than 15 m. Ignored location updates are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This can reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map, and can help control your costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations.

    This field is optional. If not specified, the default value is TimeBased .

  • PricingPlan (string) -- No longer used. If included, the only allowed value is RequestBasedUsage .
  • PricingPlanDataSource (string) -- This parameter is no longer used.
  • Tags (dict) --

    Applies one or more tags to the tracker resource. A tag is a key-value pair helps manage, identify, search, and filter your resources by labelling them.

    Format: "key" : "value"

    Restrictions:

    • Maximum 50 tags per resource
    • Each resource tag must be unique with a maximum of one value.

        • RasterEsriImagery – The Esri Imagery map style. A raster basemap that provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide.
        • VectorEsriLightGrayCanvas – The Esri Light Gray Canvas map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap with a light gray, neutral background style with minimal colors, labels, and features that's designed to draw attention to your thematic content.
        • VectorEsriTopographic – The Esri Light map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap with a classic Esri map style.
        • VectorEsriStreets – The Esri World Streets map style, which provides a detailed vector basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri street map style. The vector tile layer is similar in content and style to the World Street Map raster map.
        • VectorEsriNavigation – The Esri World Navigation map style, which provides a detailed basemap for the world symbolized with a custom navigation map style that's designed for use during the day in mobile devices.

        Valid HERE Technologies map styles :

        • VectorHereContrast – The HERE Contrast (Berlin) map style is a high contrast detailed base map of the world that blends 3D and 2D rendering.

        Note

        The VectorHereContrast style has been renamed from VectorHereBerlin . VectorHereBerlin has been deprecated, but will continue to work in applications that use it.

        • VectorHereExplore – A default HERE map style containing a neutral, global map and its features including roads, buildings, landmarks, and water features. It also now includes a fully designed map of Japan.
        • VectorHereExploreTruck – A global map containing truck restrictions and attributes (e.g. width / height / HAZMAT) symbolized with highlighted segments and icons on top of HERE Explore to support use cases within transport and logistics.
        • RasterHereExploreSatellite – A global map containing high resolution satellite imagery.
        • HybridHereExploreSatellite – A global map displaying the road network, street names, and city labels over satellite imagery. This style will automatically retrieve both raster and vector tiles, and your charges will be based on total tiles retrieved.

        Note

        Hybrid styles use both vector and raster tiles when rendering the map that you see. This means that more tiles are retrieved than when using either vector or raster tiles alone. Your charges will include all tiles retrieved.

      • Polygon (list) --

        A polygon is a list of linear rings which are each made up of a list of vertices.

        Each vertex is a 2-dimensional point of the form: [longitude, latitude] . This is represented as an array of doubles of length 2 (so [double, double] ).

        An array of 4 or more vertices, where the first and last vertex are the same (to form a closed boundary), is called a linear ring. The linear ring vertices must be listed in counter-clockwise order around the ring’s interior. The linear ring is represented as an array of vertices, or an array of arrays of doubles ([[double, double], ...] ).

        A geofence consists of a single linear ring. To allow for future expansion, the Polygon parameter takes an array of linear rings, which is represented as an array of arrays of arrays of doubles ([[[double, double], ...], ...] ).

        A linear ring for use in geofences can consist of between 4 and 1,000 vertices.

The linear ring vertices must be listed in counter-clockwise order around the ring’s interior. The linear ring is represented as an array of vertices, or an array of arrays of doubles ([[double, double], ...] ).

            A geofence consists of a single linear ring. To allow for future expansion, the Polygon parameter takes an array of linear rings, which is represented as an array of arrays of arrays of doubles ([[[double, double], ...], ...] ).

            A linear ring for use in geofences can consist of between 4 and 1,000 vertices.

    An identifier for the geofence. For example, ExampleGeofence-1 .

  • Geometry (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Contains the details to specify the position of the geofence. Can be either a polygon or a circle. Including both will return a validation error.

    Note

    Each geofence polygon can have a maximum of 1,000 vertices.

        The radius of the circle in meters. Must be greater than zero and no larger than 100,000 (100 kilometers).

    • Polygon (list) --

      A polygon is a list of linear rings which are each made up of a list of vertices.

      Each vertex is a 2-dimensional point of the form: [longitude, latitude] . This is represented as an array of doubles of length 2 (so [double, double] ).

      An array of 4 or more vertices, where the first and last vertex are the same (to form a closed boundary), is called a linear ring. The linear ring vertices must be listed in counter-clockwise order around the ring’s interior. The linear ring is represented as an array of vertices, or an array of arrays of doubles ([[double, double], ...] ).

      A geofence consists of a single linear ring. To allow for future expansion, the Polygon parameter takes an array of linear rings, which is represented as an array of arrays of arrays of doubles ([[[double, double], ...], ...] ).

      A linear ring for use in geofences can consist of between 4 and 1,000 vertices.

Parameters
  • IndexName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the place index resource you want to use for the search.

  • Language (string) --

    The preferred language used to return results. The value must be a valid BCP 47 language tag, for example, en for English.

    This setting affects the languages used in the results, but not the results themselves. If no language is specified, or not supported for a particular result, the partner automatically chooses a language for the result.

    For an example, we'll use the Greek language. You search for a location around Athens, Greece, with the language parameter set to en . The city in the results will most likely be returned as Athens .

    If you set the language parameter to el , for Greek, then the city in the results will more likely be returned as Αθήνα .

    If the data provider does not have a value for Greek, the result will be in a language that the provider does support.

  • MaxResults (integer) --

    An optional parameter. The maximum number of results returned per request.

    Default value: 50

  • Position (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the longitude and latitude of the position to query.

    This parameter must contain a pair of numbers. The first number represents the X coordinate, or longitude; the second number represents the Y coordinate, or latitude.

    For example, [-123.1174, 49.2847] represents a position with longitude -123.1174 and latitude 49.2847 .

search_place_index_for_suggestions(**kwargs)

Generates suggestions for addresses and points of interest based on partial or misspelled free-form text. This operation is also known as autocomplete, autosuggest, or fuzzy matching.

Optional parameters let you narrow your search results by bounding box or country, or bias your search toward a specific position on the globe.

Note

You can search for suggested place names near a specified position by using BiasPosition , or filter results within a bounding box by using FilterBBox . These parameters are mutually exclusive; using both BiasPosition and FilterBBox in the same command returns an error.

    IndexName='string',
    Language='string',
    MaxResults=123,
    Text='string'
)
Parameters
  • BiasPosition (list) --

    An optional parameter that indicates a preference for place suggestions that are closer to a specified position.

    If provided, this parameter must contain a pair of numbers. The first number represents the X coordinate, or longitude; the second number represents the Y coordinate, or latitude.

    For example, [-123.1174, 49.2847] represents the position with longitude -123.1174 and latitude 49.2847 .

    Note

    BiasPosition and FilterBBox are mutually exclusive. Specifying both options results in an error.

    • (float) --
  • FilterBBox (list) --

    An optional parameter that limits the search results by returning only suggestions within a specified bounding box.

    If provided, this parameter must contain a total of four consecutive numbers in two pairs. The first pair of numbers represents the X and Y coordinates (longitude and latitude, respectively) of the southwest corner of the bounding box; the second pair of numbers represents the X and Y coordinates (longitude and latitude, respectively) of the northeast corner of the bounding box.

    For example, [-12.7935, -37.4835, -12.0684, -36.9542] represents a bounding box where the southwest corner has longitude -12.7935 and latitude -37.4835 , and the northeast corner has longitude -12.0684 and latitude -36.9542 .

    Note

    FilterBBox and BiasPosition are mutually exclusive. Specifying both options results in an error.

    • (float) --
  • FilterCountries (list) --

    An optional parameter that limits the search results by returning only suggestions within the provided list of countries.

    • Use the ISO 3166 3-digit country code. For example, Australia uses three upper-case characters: AUS .
    • (string) --
  • IndexName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the place index resource you want to use for the search.

  • Language (string) --

    The preferred language used to return results. The value must be a valid BCP 47 language tag, for example, en for English.

    This setting affects the languages used in the results. If no language is specified, or not supported for a particular result, the partner automatically chooses a language for the result.

    For an example, we'll use the Greek language. You search for Athens, Gr to get suggestions with the language parameter set to en . The results found will most likely be returned as Athens, Greece .

    If you set the language parameter to el , for Greek, then the result found will more likely be returned as Αθήνα, Ελλάδα .

    If the data provider does not have a value for Greek, the result will be in a language that the provider does support.

  • MaxResults (integer) --

    An optional parameter. The maximum number of results returned per request.

    The default: 5

  • Text (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The free-form partial text to use to generate place suggestions. For example, eiffel tow .

    PricingPlan='RequestBasedUsage'|'MobileAssetTracking'|'MobileAssetManagement',
    PricingPlanDataSource='string',
    TrackerName='string'
)
Parameters
  • Description (string) -- Updates the description for the tracker resource.
  • PositionFiltering (string) --

    Updates the position filtering for the tracker resource.

    Valid values:

    • TimeBased - Location updates are evaluated against linked geofence collections, but not every location update is stored. If your update frequency is more often than 30 seconds, only one update per 30 seconds is stored for each unique device ID.
    • DistanceBased - If the device has moved less than 30 m (98.4 ft), location updates are ignored. Location updates within this distance are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This helps control costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations and historical device positions to paginate through. Distance-based filtering can also reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map.
    • AccuracyBased - If the device has moved less than the measured accuracy, location updates are ignored. For example, if two consecutive updates from a device have a horizontal accuracy of 5 m and 10 m, the second update is ignored if the device has moved less than 15 m. Ignored location updates are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This helps educe the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map, and can help control costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations.
  • PricingPlan (string) -- No longer used. If included, the only allowed value is RequestBasedUsage .
  • PricingPlanDataSource (string) -- This parameter is no longer used.

          The geofence identifier.

        • Geometry (dict) --

          Contains the geofence geometry details describing a polygon or a circle.

          • Circle (dict) --

            A circle on the earth, as defined by a center point and a radius.

            • Center (list) --

              A single point geometry, specifying the center of the circle, using WGS 84 coordinates, in the form [longitude, latitude] .

              • (float) --

              The radius of the circle in meters. Must be greater than zero and no larger than 100,000 (100 kilometers).

          • Polygon (list) --

            A polygon is a list of linear rings which are each made up of a list of vertices.

            Each vertex is a 2-dimensional point of the form: [longitude, latitude] . This is represented as an array of doubles of length 2 (so [double, double] ).

            An array of 4 or more vertices, where the first and last vertex are the same (to form a closed boundary), is called a linear ring. The linear ring vertices must be listed in counter-clockwise order around the ring’s interior. The linear ring is represented as an array of vertices, or an array of arrays of doubles ([[double, double], ...] ).

            A geofence consists of a single linear ring. To allow for future expansion, the Polygon parameter takes an array of linear rings, which is represented as an array of arrays of arrays of doubles ([[[double, double], ...], ...] ).

            A linear ring for use in geofences can consist of between 4 and 1,000 vertices.
