How to Use the Address Autocomplete API of Google Maps

 When you create a web application, you want to make the address autocomplete feature easy to use. You can do this by utilizing Google's Address Autocomplete API. There are a few things to consider before you start using this API. The first is how many different addresses are found on a single street. Then, you want the address autocomplete tool to show you suggestions for all of those addresses. This article will cover several ways that this autocomplete feature can help you.

Address autocomplete is available in the Google Maps API v3 API. Addresses such as US City/State and CA City/Provence can be autocompleted. You can also use lookup tables to automatically detect ZIP codes, even though some ZIP codes straddle cities. If you're looking for street-level accuracy, you'll need to consider which types of addresses are valid and which ones are fake.

Another advantage of using the Google Places API is that it has the most accurate database of public business listings around the world. This API provides data for over 200 countries and has volunteers who submit location data. However, it's important to note that this API does not check the validity of the unit number and does not suggest secondary unit indicators. If you need to validate a lot of addresses, you may have to pay a fee.

Address Autocomplete uses an API key to authenticate requests to the Google Maps and Places APIs. You can also set whether or not you want to limit the search to certain countries. Using the API will allow you to restrict the search to specific countries, or select all countries to find the closest match. This will prevent users from accidentally typing incorrectly. You can also choose to use Google Places API in countries with a high number of restrictions on geolocation.
