If you're looking to add address autocomplete functionality to your mobile or desktop application, you've probably heard of the AddressFinder API. This API powers the AddressFinder widget and lets you add custom address autocomplete functionality. Using this API in your application requires special guidelines for web browsers and mobile devices. This article will describe the various methods you can use to add this functionality to your application. We'll also discuss some of the benefits of this API and how you can use it to improve your user's experience.
The Address Autocomplete API can be used to build server side integration. To get started, you need to obtain a Google API key. This key will authenticate your requests with Google Maps and Places API. After obtaining this key, you can add the Address Autocomplete API key to your Gravity Forms application. The API works with any address type, including US, Canadian, and international. You can also choose to automatically restrict the results when the input fields contain the country code or postal code.
The US Autocomplete API is a free service based on open-source data. In this example, the API returns suggestions based on an index of combinations, and a dropdown menu appears under the user's cursor. From here, the user can select the address they want. You can also test the address autocomplete API by creating sample cURL requests and testing them. Smarty's Autocomplete Pro, for example, calculates suggestions based on keystrokes and uses them in response to the query. Smarty's autocomplete API also knows where the user is and submits the user's input.
