2021/11/16 - Amazon Location Service - 5 updated api methods
Changes This release adds the support for Relevance, Distance, Time Zone, Language and Interpolated Address for Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding.
{'PositionFiltering': {'AccuracyBased'}}
Creates a tracker resource in your AWS account, which lets you retrieve current and historical location of devices.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
client.create_tracker(
Description='string',
KmsKeyId='string',
PositionFiltering='TimeBased'|'DistanceBased'|'AccuracyBased',
PricingPlan='RequestBasedUsage'|'MobileAssetTracking'|'MobileAssetManagement',
PricingPlanDataSource='string',
Tags={
'string': 'string'
},
TrackerName='string'
)
string
An optional description for the tracker resource.
string
A key identifier for an AWS 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.
This field is optional. If not specified, the default value is TimeBased .
string
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the pricing plan for the tracker resource.
For additional details and restrictions on each pricing plan option, see Amazon Location Service pricing .
string
Specifies the data provider for the tracker resource.
Required value for the following pricing plans: MobileAssetTracking | MobileAssetManagement
For more information about Data Providers , and Pricing plans , see the Amazon Location Service product page.
Note
Amazon Location Service only uses PricingPlanDataSource to calculate billing for your tracker resource. Your data will not be shared with the data provider, and will remain in your AWS account or Region unless you move it.
Valid values: Esri | Here
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
Can use alphanumeric characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9), and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
Cannot use "aws:" as a prefix for a key.

Response {'Results': {'Distance': 'double',
'Place': {'Interpolated': 'boolean',
'TimeZone': {'Name': 'string', 'Offset': 'integer'}},
'Relevance': 'double'},
'Summary': {'Language': 'string'}}
Geocodes free-form text, such as an address, name, city, or region to allow you to search for Places or points of interest.
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 places near a given position using BiasPosition , or filter results within a bounding box using FilterBBox . Providing both parameters simultaneously returns an error.
Search results are returned in order of highest to lowest relevance.

list
An optional parameter that indicates a preference for places that are closer to a specified position.
If provided, this parameter must contain a pair of numbers. The first number represents the X coordinate, or longitude; the second number represents the Y coordinate, or latitude.
For example, [-123.1174, 49.2847] represents the position with longitude -123.1174 and latitude 49.2847 .

list
An optional parameter that limits the search results by returning only places that are within the provided bounding box.
If provided, this parameter must contain a total of four consecutive numbers in two pairs. The first pair of numbers represents the X and Y coordinates (longitude and latitude, respectively) of the southwest corner of the bounding box; the second pair of numbers represents the X and Y coordinates (longitude and latitude, respectively) of the northeast corner of the bounding box.
For example, [-12.7935, -37.4835, -12.0684, -36.9542] represents a bounding box where the southwest corner has longitude -12.7935 and latitude -37.4835 , and the northeast corner has longitude -12.0684 and latitude -36.9542 .
Note
FilterBBox and BiasPosition are mutually exclusive. Specifying both options results in an error.
