Address autocomplete service
« on: January 18, 2020, 12:42:20 AM »
Hi,

Currently looking into address auto complete , eg. like the google service
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places-autocomplete

Would appreciate any feedback on any experience from other devs on this or similar services that they have implemented.
Or even examples.

TIA

Johan

Hi Johan,

HERE also have one.

https://developer.here.com/documentation/geocoder-autocomplete/dev_guide/topics/example-location-id.html

I've used both. They are simple. From memory HERE is cheaper in scale.

Depending upon exactly what you want, there are other slightly different end points like /places etc.

Regards
Bill

PS. I have examples in Postman. My source code depends on other tools i've written so I cannot just pull out the code.

Hi Johan,

NetTalk has classes for integrating with the HERE api, and that does it, so that's somewhere to start.
I've also heard good things about melissa.com, but I've not used them myself yet.

cheers
Bruce
