createPlaceIndex

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend you upgrade to the Places API V2 unless you require Grab data.

• CreatePlaceIndex is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Places API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).

• The Places API version 2 has a simplified interface that can be used without creating or managing place index resources.

• If you are using an Amazon Web Services SDK or the Amazon Web Services CLI, note that the Places API version 2 is found under geo-places or geo_places, not under location.

• Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Places API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab.

• Start your version 2 API journey with the Places V2 /location/latest/APIReference/API_Operations_Amazon_Location_Service_Places_V2.html or the /location/latest/developerguide/places.html. Creates a place index resource in your Amazon Web Services account. Use a place index resource to geocode addresses and other text queries by using the SearchPlaceIndexForText operation, and reverse geocode coordinates by using the SearchPlaceIndexForPosition operation, and enable autosuggestions by using the SearchPlaceIndexForSuggestions operation.

If your application is tracking or routing assets you use in your business, such as delivery vehicles or employees, you must not use Esri as your geolocation provider. See section 82 of the Amazon Web Services service terms for more details.
