2023/07/06 - Amazon Location Service - 9 updated api methods
Changes This release adds support for authenticating with Amazon Location Service's Places & Routes APIs with an API Key. Also, with this release developers can publish tracked device position updates to Amazon EventBridge.
{'Key': 'string'}
Calculates a route given the following required parameters: DeparturePosition and DestinationPosition . Requires that you first create a route calculator resource.
By default, a request that doesn't specify a departure time uses the best time of day to travel with the best traffic conditions when calculating the route.
Additional options include:
Specifying a departure time using either DepartureTime or DepartNow . This calculates a route based on predictive traffic data at the given time.
Note
You can't specify both DepartureTime and DepartNow in a single request. Specifying both parameters returns a validation error.
Specifying a travel mode using TravelMode sets the transportation mode used to calculate the routes. This also lets you specify additional route preferences in CarModeOptions if traveling by Car , or TruckModeOptions if traveling by Truck .
Note
If you specify walking for the travel mode and your data provider is Esri, the start and destination must be within 40km.

{'Key': 'string'}
Calculates a route matrix given the following required parameters: DeparturePositions and DestinationPositions . CalculateRouteMatrix calculates routes and returns the travel time and travel distance from each departure position to each destination position in the request. For example, given departure positions A and B, and destination positions X and Y, CalculateRouteMatrix will return time and distance for routes from A to X, A to Y, B to X, and B to Y (in that order). The number of results returned (and routes calculated) will be the number of DeparturePositions times the number of DestinationPositions .
Note
Your account is charged for each route calculated, not the number of requests.
Requires that you first create a route calculator resource.
By default, a request that doesn't specify a departure time uses the best time of day to travel with the best traffic conditions when calculating routes.
Additional options include:
Specifying a departure time using either DepartureTime or DepartNow . This calculates routes based on predictive traffic data at the given time.

{'EventBridgeEnabled': 'boolean'}
Creates a tracker resource in your Amazon Web Services account, which lets you retrieve current and historical location of devices.

)
string
An optional description for the tracker resource.
boolean
Whether to enable position UPDATE events from this tracker to be sent to EventBridge.
Note
You do not need enable this feature to get ENTER and EXIT events for geofences with this tracker. Those events are always sent to EventBridge.
string
A key identifier for an Amazon Web Services KMS customer managed key. Enter a key ID, key ARN, alias name, or alias ARN.
string
Specifies the position filtering for the tracker resource.
Valid values:
TimeBased - Location updates are evaluated against linked geofence collections, but not every location update is stored. If your update frequency is more often than 30 seconds, only one update per 30 seconds is stored for each unique device ID.
DistanceBased - If the device has moved less than 30 m (98.4 ft), location updates are ignored. Location updates within this area are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This helps control costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations and historical device positions to paginate through. Distance-based filtering can also reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map.
AccuracyBased - If the device has moved less than the measured accuracy, location updates are ignored. For example, if two consecutive updates from a device have a horizontal accuracy of 5 m and 10 m, the second update is ignored if the device has moved less than 15 m. Ignored location updates are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This can reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map, and can help control your costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations.
This field is optional. If not specified, the default value is TimeBased .
string
No longer used. If included, the only allowed value is RequestBasedUsage .
string
This parameter is no longer used.
dict
Applies one or more tags to the tracker resource. A tag is a key-value pair helps manage, identify, search, and filter your resources by labelling them.
Format: "key" : "value"
Restrictions:
Maximum 50 tags per resource
Each resource tag must be unique with a maximum of one value.
Maximum key length: 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8
Maximum value length: 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

The preferred language used to return results. The value must be a valid BCP 47 language tag, for example, en for English.
This setting affects the languages used in the results, but not the results themselves. If no language is specified, or not supported for a particular result, the partner automatically chooses a language for the result.
For an example, we'll use the Greek language. You search for a location around Athens, Greece, with the language parameter set to en . The city in the results will most likely be returned as Athens .
If you set the language parameter to el , for Greek, then the city in the results will more likely be returned as Αθήνα .
If the data provider does not have a value for Greek, the result will be in a language that the provider does support.

Generates suggestions for addresses and points of interest based on partial or misspelled free-form text. This operation is also known as autocomplete, autosuggest, or fuzzy matching.
Optional parameters let you narrow your search results by bounding box or country, or bias your search toward a specific position on the globe.
Note
You can search for suggested place names near a specified position by using BiasPosition , or filter results within a bounding box by using FilterBBox . These parameters are mutually exclusive; using both BiasPosition and FilterBBox in the same command returns an error.

Note
You do not need enable this feature to get ENTER and EXIT events for geofences with this tracker. Those events are always sent to EventBridge.
string
Updates the position filtering for the tracker resource.
Valid values:
TimeBased - Location updates are evaluated against linked geofence collections, but not every location update is stored. If your update frequency is more often than 30 seconds, only one update per 30 seconds is stored for each unique device ID.
DistanceBased - If the device has moved less than 30 m (98.4 ft), location updates are ignored. Location updates within this distance are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This helps control costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations and historical device positions to paginate through. Distance-based filtering can also reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map.
AccuracyBased - If the device has moved less than the measured accuracy, location updates are ignored. For example, if two consecutive updates from a device have a horizontal accuracy of 5 m and 10 m, the second update is ignored if the device has moved less than 15 m. Ignored location updates are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This helps educe the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map, and can help control costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations.
