Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to ArcGIS Geocoding ServiceShare

The ArcGIS Geocoding Service deprecated the query parameter returnIntersection on the endpoint /arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/reverseGeocode without a shutdown date. Calls that continue to rely on this parameter eventually fail. Developers should discontinue using this parameter in their applications.

Calls it hits

What to use instead of these calls

Drop returnIntersection and send featureTypes=StreetInt to retrieve the nearest intersection instead.

In ArcGIS Geocoding Service's words

The return Intersection parameter has been deprecated. Discontinue using it in your application, and use the feature Types parameter instead.
