I Have google Geocode API, which works well with JSON response, here is the GET

curl -XGET [https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=USA](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=USA)

here is the response

{  
"results" : [  
{  
"address\_components" : [  
{  
"long\_name" : "United States",  
"short\_name" : "US",  
"types" : ["country", "political"]  
}  
],  
"formatted\_address" : "United States",  
"geometry" : {  
"bounds" : {  
"northeast" : {  
"lat" : 71.3867745,  
"lng" : -66.885417  
},  
"southwest" : {  
"lat" : 18.9110642,  
"lng" : 172.4458955  
}  
},  
"location" : {  
"lat" : 37.09024,  
"lng" : -95.712891  
},  
"location\_type" : "APPROXIMATE",  
"viewport" : {  
"northeast" : {  
"lat" : 49.38,  
"lng" : -66.94  
},  
"southwest" : {  
"lat" : 25.82,  
"lng" : -124.39  
}  
}  
},  
"place\_id" : "ChIJCzYy5IS16lQRQrfeQ5K5Oxw",  
"types" : ["country", "political"]  
}  
],  
"status" : "OK"  
}

Now i want to index the same thing in ES, how can I do that.  
Also I want to index multiple countries and not just USA

I was trying something like this below, but its not working

curl -XPOST [http://localhost:9200/country/address/](http://localhost:9200/country/address/) -d "{[https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=USA](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=USA)}"

The -d option for curl expects a file, not a URL.  
It might be easier if you get that data, save it to a file and then upload it to ES.

No, you cannot do that with LS.
