Autocomplete suggestions
GET https://{{geocode-service}}.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/suggest?token={{access_token}}&f=pjson&text=New Y
The ArcGIS World Geocoding Service includes a method that allows character-by-character autocomplete suggestions to be generated for user input in a client application. This capability facilitates the interactive search user experience by reducing the number of characters that need to be typed before a suggested match is obtained. The idea is that a client application can provide a list of suggestions that is updated with each character entered by a user until the place they are looking for is returned in the list.
