Address autocomplete API is a powerful tool that makes it easier for you to get results based on address information. By validating addresses and limiting the number of invalid entries, this API improves address data quality. However, before using an address autocomplete API for your application, developers should consider some key points.
First, you should consider whether the API you use can support a global location. If so, you will be able to provide results based on the country or geographic location of the user. Another feature to look for is full Unicode support, which will ensure that your users can view the predictions in their native language and character set. Also, the data in the predictions should be up-to-date and should be served in a standardized format. If an API provider fails to meet these requirements, it should not be considered a viable solution.
Another important consideration is whether the address autocomplete API offers secondary unit designators. Most autocomplete tools only suggest the primary address, which may not be accurate enough for some purposes, including shipping mail, delivering food, and performing maintenance work. There are more than 800 valid secondary unit designators for an address, so it's important to consider these when developing your API.
When building your own address autocomplete, you can select components for the autocomplete results to limit the results based on the location. The location must be specified in latitude and longitude, as well as radius, which can be in meters. The components parameter can also be used to filter the search results based on the country.
