Using a non-Esri geocoding API in ArcGIS

[KrisMilton1]

Hi everyone,

Our data warehouse people have a non-Esri geocoding application (IBMs AVI, part of Quality Stage), and, if possible, we'd like to make that available as a geocoding service in ArcGIS Pro and Portal.

We can configure the API to match the calls provided by an Esri geocoding service - is there any special magic to make ArcGIS 'recognise' the service?

Or, is there a different way to do this?

I can see us building a custom widget in Portal, but I'm not sure if that helps our desktop and Pro users (who want to use this, too)

Hi Sandeep,  

Ideally, we'd like to be able to use the AVI service like any other locator in ArcIGS
