The Address Geocoding API takes a string (often a single word or phrase) and attempts to match this with possible real world locations. It returns latitude and longitude coordinates as well as geographic accuracy of the match, if more than one location is found then results are ordered by most relevant to the original search address and with the highest geographic accuracy.
It can be used by many applications and businesses for mapping, customer data analysis, geographic pattern recognition and routing. For example, taxi drivers use this service to identify the best way to reach the destination of their customers. It is also useful for food delivery couriers and other companies with a need to geocode addresses.
Several different types of address information can be used, including structured and unstructured data. Structured data should be in the form of a table or matrix with header rows and columns. If the data is jumbled, unformatted or in raw format, it should be supplied as a comma-separated list.
Segment Information is typically derived from street geographic information systems. Each street segment is attributed with address ranges. The segment data is then interpolated to locate the actual position of an address within a specific range along a block.
The returned geocoder result may have a 'partial_match' or 'geometric_center' attribute. Partial matches are most often the result of misspellings or incomplete address information. They may also occur when the geocoding service is unable to find an exact match for the address in the requested locality, or when the result of the request matches two or more addresses in the same locality.
