Google Address Autocomplete API Example

If you have a website and are looking for a way to improve the quality of your address data, the Address Autocomplete API might be a good fit for you. Using this API, you can ensure that all the addresses that you send are standardized and verified.



There are several features to consider when choosing an address autocomplete API. The first thing you should ask yourself is whether or not you need "front door" accuracy. For example, if you are shipping packages, you will want to make sure that your suggested addresses are accurate. Similarly, if you are doing maintenance work, you will want to be certain that your suggested addresses have all the correct information.


Another important feature to consider is the ability to set different filters. This feature allows you to select the country or region where you would like to display your results. You can also filter by radius. In this case, you can choose to show only places within a specified distance from your location.


Finally, you should consider how much information is available on the API. Algolia, for instance, has an enormous library of data. However, you may find that some of this information is not valid or reflects the current state of the map.


One problem with using the autocomplete feature on Google is that the addresses that it suggests are often inaccurate. Many users will type an apartment number incorrectly. And some providers won't suggest a specific apartment number.
