Parameter Type Description
placeName String Specifies the building name, place name, Point of Interest (POI), company or firm name associated with the input address. Optional.
mainAddress String Single Line Input—If no other address field is populated, then the mainAddress entry will be treated as a single line input. Single line input can consist of multiple input address fields ; these should be entered in the typical address order for the country. For more details, refer to the section "Single Line Input" below.

Street Address—If the post address components (city, postalCode, etc.) are provided separately or in the lastLine field, then the contents of mainAddress will be treated as the street address part and can include company name, house number, building names and street names. Optional.

Street Intersection Input—To enter an intersection, specify the two street names separated by a double ampersand (&&).
lastLine String The last line of the address. Optional. For example:

12 Calle

areaName1 String Not used.
areaName2 String Not used.
areaName3 String Specifies the city or town. Optional.
areaName4 String Not used.
postalCode String Specifies the 5-digit postal code. Optional.
country String The three-letter ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3 country code. For Honduras, the country code is HND. Required for forward geocoding.

Single Line Input

Instead of entering each address component in separate fields, you can enter the entire address in the mainAddress input field with the address elements ordered as follows:

[address_number][street_info][area][postal_code]

Where:
  • [address_number] is optional.
  • [street_info] consists of the street name, street type and any pre- or post-directional information (e.g. East, West, etc.). Optional.
  • [area] is the city only, or city plus supporting information, such as state, province, locality.
  • [postal_code] is the postal code.
  • Either the [area] or [postal_code] is required.
For best results, put a comma between the street information and the last address line information.
