Can esri world geocoder be used in composite locator?

[MichaelBouvet]

We have a requirement where we would want to use the service as a last resort if no matches can be found in our local locators. 

Thank you in advance!

FAQ: Can the World Geocoding Service be used with custom locators in a composite locator and publish... 

You could try something similar to these steps in ArcGIS Pro.

Thanks Jayanta! I was able to do it in Pro, just had to be signed in to ArcGIS online when creating the locator. I believe the AGO account used to create the locator will be charged for credit consumption correct?

[JayantaPoddar]

Batch Geocoding using ArcGIS World Geocoding Service will cost you credits (40 credits per 1,000 geocodes).

Thanks, I don't think we will be doing any batch geocoding. Thanks for your help!

Hi Michael, could you explain in more detail how you managed to integrate the World Geocoding Service in a composite locator in ArcGIS Pro and publish it successfully to Portal? Whenever I try to publish a composite locator containing the mentioned service, I get this error:
