google maps - Is there an API for checking location type for address/coordinates? -


so, i'd input address , find out more information input address. i'd whether location residential or commercial , find out if single family dwelling or "highrise", , more.

there many apis can use determine following information:

residential/commercial single family/vs multi-tenant more...

in order type of information first have determine address valid. once determined can additional metadata address. mean address valid? doesn't mean people think means. doesn't mean there structure people live @ particular location. does mean particular address can matched address within authoritative data source.

what sources? i'll hit answer.

us postal service (usps) united parcel service (ups) federal express (fedex)

no, there isn't single unified source. ups , fedex don't share data, though have api available if shipping service. usps has api (a free one) available long shipping service.

each api little different in provide, things have in common let know if address "valid" according them. remember, fedex po box address not valid because it's not deliverable. usps street address not valid if deliver po boxes within zipcode.

so, definitive way know sure if address valid use 3 services, although terms of service allow address validation api used if shipping services.

there third party address validation services. third party because don't gather data instead make data more available better api wrapper, in many cases. since ups , fedex don't share data, of address validation api's know of utilize usps data means if address serviced fedex not usps, marked invalid.

here examples of usps address validation services:
