Table Definition

Column NameColumn Data Type
index_name Required Input Column

The name of the place index resource that you want to use for the search.

VARCHAR
place_id Required Input Column

The identifier of the place to find.

VARCHAR
key Input Column

The optional API key to authorize the request.

VARCHAR
language Input Column

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.

VARCHAR
_aws_profile Input Column

The AWS profile defines the AWS identity used. It can be defined via credentials or by assuming a IAM role.
