Specific rules regarding addresses

Country coverage

Localities autocomplete and geocode endpoints cover addresses all over the world.

You must specify countries in your requests to get the most relevant suggestions from Autocomplete endpoint. Specifying one or several components:country= is the only way to benefit from specific data sourcing Woosmap put in place in some countries:

Accessing UK addresses specifically through Localities, to benefit from multi-residence and not-yet-built addresses, requires a specific product activation only available for Pro and Enterprise licences.

Location accuracy of UK addresses

Default location accuracy is ROOFTOP. Local specificities may exist:

Specific rules regarding postal codes

The standard behavior of Localities API allows you to get postal codes in western Europe, USA and Canada. With the data=advanced parameter, you can increase the coverage of the API and search postal codes pretty much anywhere on the planet.

A dedicated option subject to specific billing on your license is needed to use this parameter. Please contact our Support Team to get it activated for your Organization.

Countries included for Standard Postal Code search (data=standard)
