Mapping Road Name to the Town

,
#1

Hello All,

I’m newbie here.

I need to find a way to match street name to the town (e.g. Bishan St 23 belongs to Bishan, Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 belongs to Ang Mo Kio). The data will be used for NEA 2 hours forecast (which needs Town name as input).

Is there any way to match the town boundary with latitudes and longitudes ?

Thank you for your help

Best Regards,
-Daniel

The Search API is not suitable for your stated function. Perhaps, you can try to use the “Planning Area” polygons provided?

Demo code (using NodeJS) is posted to https://gitlab.com/kunilkuda/sg-weather if anyone interested.

Basically:

  1. Use OneMap search API to locate longitude / latitude of the address
  2. Use OneMap get token for auth
  3. Use OneMap planning area to determine the town of the address
  4. Fetch NEA 2 hours forecast, based on the town
