Address Validation (beta)

AddressValidationclass

google.maps.addressValidation.AddressValidationclass

Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.

Static class for accessing the AddressValidation APIs.

Access by callingconst {AddressValidation} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Static Methods
`fetchAddressValidation`	`fetchAddressValidation(request)` Parameters: `request`: `AddressValidationRequest` Return Value: `Promise<AddressValidation>` Validates an address. Seehttps://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/address-validation/validate-address.

Properties
`address`	Type: `Addressoptional` Information about the address itself as opposed to the geocode.
`geocode`	Type: `Geocodeoptional` Information about the location and place that the address geocoded to.
`metadata`	Type: `AddressMetadataoptional` Other information relevant to deliverability.`metadata` is not guaranteed to be fully populated for every address sent to the Address Validation API.
`responseId`	Type: `stringoptional` The UUID that identifies this response. If the address needs to be re-validated, this UUIDmust accompany the new request.
`uspsData`	Type: `USPSDataoptional` Extra deliverability flags provided by USPS. Only provided in region`US` and`PR`.
`verdict`	Type: `Verdictoptional` Overall verdict flags

Methods

AddressValidationRequestinterface

google.maps.addressValidation.AddressValidationRequestinterface

Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.

Request interface forAddressValidation.fetchAddressValidation.

Properties
`address`	Type: `PostalAddressLiteral` The address being validated. Unformatted addresses should be submitted via`PostalAddress.addressLines`.
`previousResponseIdoptional`	Type: `stringoptional` This field must not be set for the first address validation request. If more requests are necessary to fully validate a single address (for example if the changes the user makes after the initial validation need to be re-validated), then each followup request must populate this field with the`AddressValidation.responseId` from the very first response in the validation sequence.
`uspsCASSEnabledoptional`	Type: `booleanoptional` Enables USPS CASS compatible mode. This affectsonly the`AddressValidation.uspsData` field of`AddressValidation`. Note: for USPS CASS enabled requests for addresses in Puerto Rico, a`PostalAddress.regionCode` of the`address` must be provided as "PR", or an`PostalAddress.administrativeArea` of the`address` must be provided as "Puerto Rico" (case-insensitive) or "PR".

Addressclass

google.maps.addressValidation.Addressclass

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 callingconst {Address} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Properties
`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: `stringoptional` 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 foundhere.
`postalAddress`	Type: `PostalAddressoptional` 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 foundhere.
`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.

AddressComponentclass

google.maps.addressValidation.AddressComponentclass

Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.

Represents a single component of an address (ex. street name, city).

Access by callingconst {AddressComponent} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Properties
`componentName`	Type: `stringoptional` The component name text. For example, "5th Avenue" for a street name or "1253" for a street number,
`componentNameLanguageCode`	Type: `stringoptional` 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: `stringoptional` The type of the address component. SeeTable 2: Additional types returned by the Places service for a list of possible types.
`confirmationLevel`	Type: `ConfirmationLeveloptional` 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.

AddressMetadataclass

google.maps.addressValidation.AddressMetadataclass

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 callingconst {AddressMetadata} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Properties
`business`	Type: `boolean`
`poBox`	Type: `boolean`
`residential`	Type: `boolean`

ConfirmationLevelconstants

google.maps.addressValidation.ConfirmationLevelconstants

Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.

The different possible values indicating the level of certainty that the component is correct.

Access by callingconst {ConfirmationLevel} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Constants
`CONFIRMED`
`UNCONFIRMED_AND_SUSPICIOUS`
`UNCONFIRMED_BUT_PLAUSIBLE`

Geocodeclass

google.maps.addressValidation.Geocodeclass

Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.

Contains information about the place the input was geocoded to.

Access by callingconst {Geocode} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Properties
`bounds`	Type: `LatLngBoundsoptional` The bounds of the geocoded place.
`featureSizeMeters`	Type: `numberoptional` 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: `LatLngAltitudeoptional` The geocoded location of the input.
`placeId`	Type: `stringoptional` 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 theGeocoding API documentation.
`plusCode`	Type: `PlusCodeoptional` The plus code corresponding to the`location`.

Methods
`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.

Granularityconstants

google.maps.addressValidation.Granularityconstants

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 anaddress, 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 aPREMISE while something like "Redwood City, CA, 94061" identifies aLOCALITY. However, if we are unable to find a geocode for "123 Main Street" in Redwood City, the geocode returned might be ofLOCALITY granularity even though the address is more granular.

Access by callingconst {Granularity} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Constants
`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.

PossibleNextActionconstants

google.maps.addressValidation.PossibleNextActionconstants

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 callingconst {PossibleNextAction} = await google.maps.importLibrary("addressValidation").
SeeLibraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Constants
`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.

USPSAddressclass

google.maps.addressValidation.USPSAddressclass

Notice: Available only in the v=beta channel.
