This appears to be a problem caused by the "#" character in the third address:
> vendors$`Full Address`[3]
[1] "Unit#6 - 421 Sandwich Street South Amherstburg, Ontario N9V 3K8"
Here's the error I get:
> vendors$`Full Address`[1:3] |> tidygeocoder::geo(method="here",mode="batch")
Passing 3 addresses to the HERE batch geocoder
Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, :
line 3 did not have 6 elements
When I remove the # character it works:
> vendors$`Full Address`[1:3] |> stringr::str_replace_all("#", " ") |> tidygeocoder::geo(method="here",mode="batch")
Passing 3 addresses to the HERE batch geocoder

For the next release we can look at trying to escape these characters within tidygeocoder, but for now you can remove the character manually like I did above. Issue #190 is also related to escaping characters.

Hey, I am having a similar issue; however, I already tidied my address to remove any special characters. Here's a reprex —also, I included a tilde, however it makes no difference if I remove it:
library(dplyr)
library(sf)
library(tidygeocoder)
df <- tibble::tibble(
street_name = c("rua são paulo", "av prof alfredo balena", "av getulio vargas"),
street_number = c(656, 400, 1300),
postcode = c(30170130, 30130100, 30112021)
)
# this works
df <- df %>%
mutate(query = paste0(street_name, ", ", street_number, " - ", postcode)) %>%
geocode(address = query, method = "here")
# this doesn't
df <- df %>%
mutate(query = paste0(street_name, ", ", street_number, " - ", postcode)) %>%
geocode(address = query, method = "here", mode = "batch")
As happened to @ashishchalise5, it's just an empty error message, so I have no clue about what's happening.
Btw, i found that method = "here" is very smooth compared to others. I was using arcgis, and now I'm using here to geocode the addresses arcgis couldn't find, and there's a high rate of success; however, it would be better if I could batch them!
Description
I am using the same dataset for both single geocoding and batch geocoding however the single geocoding works fine batch encoding doesnot give any lat long values
