Need help to use a custom geocoding service from stand alone arcgis server

Hello,

I have a secured geocoding service that is hosted on a stand alone arcgis server. And I am trying to use this service to batch geocode some data using ArcGIS API for python. However I am facing issues when trying to run the batch_geocode function.

Here is my code:

1) Importing the necessary libraries

(Note: Arcgis python API version installed is 2.1.0.3)

from arcgis.gis import gis

from arcgis.geocoding import Geocoder, get_geocoders, batch_geocode, geocode

2) Assigning the custom geocode service url and setting the preferred geocoder to custom_geocoder

custom_geocoder = "https://{servername}/arcgis/rest/services/NorthAmerica/GeocodeServer"

gis = GIS("http://www.arcgis.com", "username", "password")

esrinl_geocoder = Geocoder(nys_gcdr_url, gis)

esrinl_geocoder

3) output <Geocoder url : https:// "{custom_url}/arcgis/rest/services/NorthAmerica/GeocodeServer"

4) Random Addresses : ["REDWOOD AVE, MO / MELROSE ST, MO ( 42/B4 ), MODESTO","2504 DANA LN, MODESTO","1020 JAYHAWK WAY, MODESTO"]

5) results = batch_geocode(addresses, custom_geocoder)

6) Getting the following error:

Exception                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

   1050     errormessage + "\n(Error Code: " + str(errorcode) + ")"
   1051 )
-> 1052 raise Exception(errormessage)

Exception: Token Required
(Error Code: 499)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Need a way to solve this error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey Vinnakota

It looks like an authentication issue. I would suggest sharing your geocoding service publicly and testing the notebook again as well as comparing your notebook with the following sample.

Hopefully that helps,

David
