Location autocomplete
Search for places by postcode, suburb or street name and instantly receive reliable, verified location data
What is location autocomplete?
Location autocomplete lets users search for places by street name, suburb, or postcode. When a location is selected, the verified data is automatically populated into your website, form, or CRM
Addressfinder’s autocomplete API includes built-in fuzzy search to handle typos and misspellings, suggesting accurate results as users type.
Customers simply choose from the suggested locations and watch the verified street, suburb, state, and postcode details fill in automatically.
Why use location autocomplete?
The location autocomplete service is ideal for when you don’t need the customer's specific address but you do need to reliably capture their suburb or postcode for downstream services
Use Addressfinder location autocomplete to:
Link online customers with physical stores
Showing local store stock availability
Providing location specific quotes or offers
Calculating delivery costs
Finding nearby service options and availability
How it works
1. Creating a searchable locations database
Every month, Addressfinder builds and updates a comprehensive database of verified street-suburb-state-postcode locations.
2. User input and location searching
A user types their street/suburb/postcode into the search field, the information is instantly sent to Addressfinder where it is matched with locations in the database
3. Display and refinement
Matching locations returned are displayed to the user in real time. With each additional keystroke, the results become more specific and accurate.
4. Selection and population
When the user sees their street/suburb etc in the drop down and they select it, the details of that verified location and the metadata associated with it are populated into the fields.
