How do you turn an encoded polyline into geometry?

Anonymous User

For example I have this feed: https://511on.ca/api/v2/get/roadconditions?format=jsona

In a normal script I would use the polyline library to decode it. e.g.

array <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Array<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="keyword token">for</SPAN> coords <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> polyline<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>decode<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>EncodedPolyline<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN>
    array<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>add<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Point<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>coords<SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">1</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> coords<SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">0</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
cur<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>insertRow<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>LocationDescription<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN>arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Polyline<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>array<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
‍‍‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Is something similar possible in GeoEvent?

I am unaware of anything in GE that can handle this type of line. However, you could create a python script that would translate the data and send it to GE. We do something similar for parsing our avl data.
