How to get a geocode given an address
Is there a way in thingworx to get a geocode with an address? I see that the widgets take geocode as an input but not the address. I'd like to use those widgets but I need to convert the addresses to geocode first.

Create ThingWorx service using ContentLoaderFunctions like GetJSON to call the Google Geocode API.
You can find many articles in PTC knowledgebase with examples on how to use it like

or in JavaDoc at http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/javadoc/com/thingworx/resources/content/ContentLoader.html.

You may want to look at different maps provider services like Google or Bing.
Google has REST API available to documented here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro
Similar REST APIs are available from Bing Maps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/
Hope this helps.
