Using Google's Place Autocomplete API, you can make your application more useful by providing users with accurate addresses. This is done by transliterating street addresses into readable script. The API also provides addresses in the user's preferred language. The API can be used to return results for locations within a specified radius or country, as well as within a specific area.
The Place Autocomplete API requires a unique session token. The token must be created for each request. After the session ends, the token is no longer valid. The service also provides best practices for error handling and data fields that are required. You can use the service with the Distance Matrix service. Place IDs can also be used with the Geocoding service.
Depending on your implementation, you can use the Place ID to display results for a specified place or area, as well as the Distance Matrix service. In addition, you can bias locations by map viewport or country. You can also re-use user input in the Places service.
Using the Place Autocomplete API is easy to do. It requires a unique session token, the Google Maps API key, and a unique API key for the Google Cloud Console. In addition, you should be familiar with the Google Maps API version you are using. Once you have these items, you are ready to start working with Google's Place Autocomplete API. Using Google's Place Autocomplete API is an easy way to integrate address autocomplete into your application.
