Address classgoogle.maps.addressValidation.Address class
Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
Details of the post-processed address. Post-processing includes correcting misspelled parts of the address, replacing incorrect parts, and inferring missing parts.
Access by calling const {Address} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.
components Type: Array<AddressComponent>
The individual address components of the formatted and corrected address, along with validation information. This provides information on the validation status of the individual components.
formattedAddress
Type: string optional
The post-processed address, formatted as a single-line address following the address-formatting rules of the region where the address is located.
missingComponentTypes Type: Array<string>
The types of components that were expected to be present in a correctly formatted mailing address but were not found in the input AND could not be inferred. Components of this type are not present in
formatted_address
,
postal_address
, or
address_components
. An example might be
['street_number', 'route']
for an input like "Boulder, Colorado, 80301, USA". The list of possible types can be found
here.
postalAddress Type: PostalAddress optional
The post-processed address represented as a postal address.
unconfirmedComponentTypes Type: Array<string>
The types of the components that are present in the
address_components
but could not be confirmed to be correct. This field is provided for the sake of convenience: its contents are equivalent to iterating through the
address_components
to find the types of all the components where the
AddressComponent.confirmationLevel
is not
ConfirmationLevel.CONFIRMED
or the
AddressComponent.inferred
flag is not set to
true
. The list of possible types can be found
here.
unresolvedTokens Type: Array<string>
Any tokens in the input that could not be resolved. This might be an input that was not recognized as a valid part of an address (for example in an input like "123235253253 Main St, San Francisco, CA, 94105", the unresolved tokens may look like ["123235253253"] since that does not look like a valid street number.
google.maps.addressValidation.AddressComponent class
Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
Represents a single component of an address (ex. street name, city).
Access by calling const {AddressComponent} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.
componentName
Type: string optional
The component name text. For example, "5th Avenue" for a street name or "1253" for a street number,
componentNameLanguageCode
Type: string optional
The BCP-47 language code. This will not be present if the component name is not associated with a language, such as a street number.
componentType
Type: string optional
The type of the address component. See
Table 2: Additional types returned by the Places servicefor a list of possible types.
confirmationLevel Type: ConfirmationLevel optional
Indicates the level of certainty that the component is correct.
inferred
Type: boolean
If true, this component was not part of the input, but was inferred for the address location. Including this component is recommended for a complete address.
replaced
Type: boolean
Indicates the name of the component was replaced with a completely different one. For example, replacing a wrong postal code being with one that is correct for the address. This is not a cosmetic change; the input component has been changed to a different one.
spellCorrected
Type: boolean
Indicates a correction to a misspelling in the component name. The API does not always flag changes from one spelling variant to another, such as "centre" to "center".
unexpected
Type: boolean
If true, this component is not expected to be present in a postal address for the given region. It has been retained only because it was part of the input.
google.maps.addressValidation.AddressMetadata class
Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
The metadata for the address. AddressMetadata is not guaranteed to be fully populated for every address sent to the Address Validation API.
Access by calling const {AddressMetadata} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.
google.maps.addressValidation.ConfirmationLevel constants
Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
The different possible values indicating the level of certainty that the component is correct.
Access by calling const {ConfirmationLevel} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.
google.maps.addressValidation.Geocode class
Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
Contains information about the place the input was geocoded to.
Access by calling const {Geocode} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.
bounds Type: LatLngBounds optional
The bounds of the geocoded place.
featureSizeMeters
Type: number optional
The size of the geocoded place, in meters. This is another measure of the coarseness of the geocoded location, but in physical size rather than in semantic meaning.
location Type: LatLngAltitude optional
The geocoded location of the input.
placeId
Type: string optional
The Place ID of the geocoded place. Using Place is preferred over using addresses, latitude/longitude coordinates, or plus codes. Using coordinates for routing or calculating driving directions will always result in the point being snapped to the road nearest to those coordinates. This may not be a road that will quickly or safely lead to the destination and may not be near an access point to the property. Additionally, when a location is reverse geocoded, there is no guarantee that the returned address will match the original.
placeTypes Type: Array<string>
The type(s) of place that the input geocoded to. For example,
['locality', 'political']
. The full list of types can be found in the
Geocoding API documentation.
plusCode Type: PlusCode optional
The plus code corresponding to the location.
fetchPlace
fetchPlace()
Parameters: None
Return Value: None
Returns a Place representation of this Geocode. To get full place details, a call to place.fetchFields() should be made.
Granularity constantsgoogle.maps.addressValidation.Granularity constants
Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
The various granularities that an address or a geocode can have. When used to indicate granularity for an address, these values indicate with how fine a granularity the address identifies a mailing destination. For example, an address such as "123 Main Street, Redwood City, CA, 94061" identifies a PREMISE while something like "Redwood City, CA, 94061" identifies a LOCALITY. However, if we are unable to find a geocode for "123 Main Street" in Redwood City, the geocode returned might be of LOCALITY granularity even though the address is more granular.
Access by calling const {Granularity} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.
BLOCK The address or geocode indicates a block. Only used in regions which have block-level addressing, such as Japan. OTHER All other granularities, which are bucketed together since they are not deliverable. PREMISE Building-level result. PREMISE_PROXIMITY A geocode that approximates the building-level location of the address. ROUTE The geocode or address is granular to route, such as a street, road, or highway. SUB_PREMISE Below-building level result, such as an apartment. PossibleNextAction constants
google.maps.addressValidation.PossibleNextAction constants
Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
Offers an interpretive summary of the API response, intended to assist in determining a potential subsequent action to take. This field is derived from other fields in the API response and should not be considered as a guarantee of address accuracy or deliverability.
Access by calling const {PossibleNextAction} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.
ACCEPT The API response does not contain signals that warrant one of the other PossibleNextAction values. You might consider using the post-processed address without further prompting your customer, though this does not guarantee the address is valid, and the address might still contain corrections. It is your responsibility to determine if and how to prompt your customer, depending on your own risk assessment. CONFIRM One or more fields of the API response indicate potential minor issues with the post-processed address, for example the postal_code address component was replaced. Prompting your customer to review the address could help improve the quality of the address. CONFIRM_ADD_SUBPREMISES The API response indicates the post-processed address might be missing a subpremises. Prompting your customer to review the address and consider adding a unit number could help improve the quality of the address. The post-processed address might also have other minor issues. Note: this enum value can only be returned for US addresses. FIX One or more fields of the API response indicate a potential issue with the post-processed address, for example the verdict.validation_granularity is OTHER. Prompting your customer to edit the address could help improve the quality of the address. USPSAddress class
