Geocoding can automatically extract geolocations from text. This example also shows a new way of submitting information to a server: in the example below, data is posted to the server using the same mechanism that is used in HTML forms. This is typically done to avoid having to URL-encode large amounts of data because when POST is used, the data travels in the header of the request, not the URL. This also allows more data to be sent:
'Ma io stasera volevo cenare al lume di candela, non cucinarci! #Milano #blackout' | ForEach-Object -Begin {$url='https://geocode.xyz' $null = Invoke-RestMethod $url -S session } -Process { Invoke-RestMethod $url -W $session -Method Post -Body @{scantext=$_='json'} }
The result looks similar to this:
