Hello,
I am trying to geocode some addresses. The input is excel. But I don't want to use available geocoder services. Instead, we have our own geocoding API key. Is it possible to use it through any of the transformers?

Yes, you can do that via a HTTPCaller. You'll need to make sure to send the API key with the request of course. The result of the API is most likely going to come back as either XML or JSON so you'll need to process that afterwards through flattening/fragmenting.

Hi @mukhtarg
For working with REST API-s like this I would recommend to look at this presentation from FMEUC2017
