{"categories":[{"label":"Internet","url":"https://skillfed.io/packages/category/internet/4"}],"enrichment":{"capability":"Provides a Python client for Azure Maps Search service, enabling geocoding, reverse geocoding, and address lookup operations against Azure Maps REST APIs.","skillfed_tags":["azure-sdk","geolocation","rest-client"],"use_cases":["Convert user-entered addresses into latitude/longitude coordinates for map display or location-based services","Perform reverse geocoding to translate GPS coordinates back into human-readable street addresses","Batch-process multiple addresses or coordinates in a single request to reduce API call overhead","Integrate location search into web or mobile applications that require Azure Maps backend services","Validate and normalize addresses before storing them in a database or sending to downstream systems"],"what_it_does":"Azure Maps Search is a Python SDK that wraps the Azure Maps Search REST API, allowing developers to perform location-based queries programmatically. It supports geocoding (converting addresses to coordinates), reverse geocoding (converting coordinates to addresses), and batch operations for multiple lookups. The package handles authentication via subscription keys, SAS tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID credentials, and provides both synchronous and asynchronous client interfaces.\n\nThe package is part of the official Azure SDK for Python and depends on msrest, azure-common, and azure-mgmt-core for HTTP communication and credential management. It requires Python 3.8 or later and is currently in Beta, meaning the API surface may evolve before a stable 1.0 release. Developers using it should expect to maintain an active Azure Maps account and manage credentials securely.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building on Azure and need programmatic access to Azure Maps Search. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, and integrates cleanly with the broader Azure SDK ecosystem. The Beta status is not a blocker for production use (it reflects API stability expectations, not code quality), but verify that the current API surface meets your needs before committing. No known vulnerabilities."},"id":"azure-maps-search","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-maps-search","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-maps-search.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-maps-search/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-maps-search","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Azure Maps Search Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":156324,"position":10787,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0b2"}
