The Geocoding module, arcpy.geocoding, allows you to explore and set locator properties and automate geocoding workflows. Geocoding is the process of transforming a description of a location—such as a pair of coordinates, an address, or a name of a place—to a location on the earth's surface. A locator is the tool used to perform geocoding operations. With this module, you can view and modify properties on the locator to tune it to your specific geocoding needs by customizing it for performance or quality. You can also use this module to perform various geocoding operations, including finding the location of a place or address, finding the closest place or address to a given location, or generating a set of autocomplete suggestions for partial input.
