Suggestions for Single Field Search

In the new version of the PTV Developer Geocoding & Places  API V1.9.0 we added a new feature the Suggestions by Text endpoint.

This new endpoint returns suggestions useful when filling out the input field for a Locations by Text request.

This allows to build an interactive address input:

  • While the user is typing in the input field for Locations by Text, the frontend can automatically obtain suggestions and display them to the user.
  • When the user selects one of the suggestions, the input field can be updated accordingly.
  • At any time Locations by Text can be called, to obtain Locations with coordinates.

With the Geocoding & Places  API you can create geolocation-based applications that enables users to forward/reverse geocode addresses with high precision, search and display geographic locations, such as shops and prominent Points of Interest (POIs) in various categories.
