How to Use the Canada Post Address Autocomplete API

To use the Address Autocomplete feature on your website, you'll need a Google API key. This key authenticates your request to the Google Maps and Places APIs. Once you have your key, you can limit the search results to a specific country or city by setting the type of address field you want to use. This key is also required if you'd like to use geocoding to find an address.



First, you must create a Google account. This account is necessary for all Google products, including the Address Autocomplete feature. Besides that, you'll need a Cloud Billing account if you'd like to enable this feature. Otherwise, you can't use the feature.


Another useful feature of the Address Autocomplete API is its flexibility. It's free and highly customizable, but it's not 100% accurate. This can cause problems in certain circumstances. Also, implementing this feature can be difficult. However, it's an excellent choice for applications that rely on type-ahead behavior. It saves users time.


To use Address Autocomplete on your website, you'll need to activate Google Cloud Platform. This will generate an API key for your website. When enabled, the key can be used for Address Autocomplete and Google Places API. You can also restrict access to the API key to prevent unauthorized use.
