QuickAddress Pro API - QAS.com

You can use any combination of address elements in any order. If there arediscrepancies between the spelling of the entry and the spelling as recorded inthe country database, Pro usually manages to find the required address.If your definition is not specific enough, the search for matching addresses cantake too long or can result in too many addresses to be useful. For exampleGreen*followed by a town name would retrieve:• all matching organisations (Greenwood Motors, Green Acres HealthFarm, etc.);• all matching building names (Greenford Towers, Greendale Heights,etc.);• all matching street names (Green Lane, Greenfield Street, etc.);• all matching place names (Greenslopes, Greenwich, etc.).Identifying Address ElementsYou can limit your search to make it more efficient, by identifying whichaddress elements one or more parts of your address represents.Thus you can identify a part of an address as, for example, a street name or anorganisation name. If you tag part of the address as a post town, Pro API onlylooks through its list of post towns when it endeavours to match that part of theaddress.The address elements that can be tagged in the databases that you havepurchased are explained in the country-specific documentation supplied withyour data.QuickAddress Pro API Searching with Pro • 25
