Load Data from gisgraphy / xml source

[#1]

Hello QV User's and Developers!

Im looking for a hint or solution to load data from a web-source (gisgraphy, example: http://services.gisgraphy.com/geocoding/geocode?country=AT&address=1010 ) .. (of course i set up my own server, but this public server is for example, so please use it with care), result is xml: example:

<results><numFound>1</numFound><QTime>86</QTime><result><id>2761369</id><lng>16.372079849243164</lng><lat>48.20848846435547</lat><geocodingLevel>CITY</geocodingLevel><name>Vienna</name><zipCode>1010</zipCode><city>Vienna</city><state>Politischer Bezirk Wien (Stadt)</state><countryCode>AT</countryCode></result></results>

i have a table with postcodes, and i want to join or create a new table with long and lat from that source.

i need to query every entry in that postcodes table against my gisgaphy server, is that possible with QV?

Thank you soo much for every little hint!

As of my understanding, you want load the latitude & longitude for each ZipCode in the other table.

For this, we can create the FOR Loop for each ZipCode and load the Latitude & Longitude from XML source.

Please find the below script:

TABLE: // Lets Assume this table having ZipCodes

LOAD * INLINE [

ZipCode

1010

];

// Creating the Loop for each ZipCode and load the respective xml file.

FOR i= 1 to FieldValueCount('ZipCode')

  LET vZipCode  =  FieldValue('ZipCode',$(i)) ;

  // Start of [geocode?country=AT&address=1010.com/geocoding/geocode?country=at&address=1010] LOAD statements

  results:

  LOAD numFound,

    QTime,

    [result/id] as id,

    [result/lng] as lng,

    [result/lat] as lat,

    [result/geocodingLevel] as geocodingLevel,

    [result/name] as name,

    [result/zipCode] as ZipCode,

    [result/city] as city,

    [result/state] as state,

    [result/countryCode] as countryCode

  FROM [http://services.gisgraphy.com/geocoding/geocode?country=AT&address=$(vZipCode)] (XmlSimple, Table is [results]);

  //FROM [http://services.gisgraphy.com/geocoding/geocode?country=AT&address=1010] (XmlSimple, Table is [results]);

  // End of [geocode?country=AT&address=1010.com/geocoding/geocode?country=at&address=1010] LOAD statements

NEXT i
