Geocode and OSM Timeout


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hello,

I have been trying to determine why the Geocoder transformer (using OpenStreetMap source) keeps stalling after ~500 features have been processed. Does anyone know if there is a limit that can be processed?

Thanks

In the Advanced parameters there's a timeout and a max number of concurrent requests that you can set. Also take a look at the usage policy for the Nominatim service, it could very well be that you're hitting the limits of the free service after 500 features (assuming you haven't set up your own service)

You can work around that by slowing things down (Decelerator) although the way I understand it you'd still be in violation...

Thank you. This helps. I had not thought of the decelerator and will try that.
