gatekeeperKey Configuration

A gatekeeper key is required to access the City of Philadelphia's geocoder, the Address Information Service (AIS).

AIS lets you make an API call with an address, and recieve information about that address.

The URL for the api starts with https://api.phila.gov/ais/v1, but you can't get information back without a gatekeeper key.

If you work for the City of Philadelphia, you can request one from OIT.

After you have one, you have to put it into your config for mapboard to use AIS.
