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.

lastLine String The last line of the address. Optional. For example:

Address Guidelines for Indonesia

Follow these suggestions to ensure that your input address data is in the best format possible for optimum matching and geocoding. For additional information about the Indonesian postal system, see the Pos Indonesia website: www.posindonesia.co.id. You can also see and search for Indonesian postcodes at http://kodepos.posindonesia.co.id/.

  • Required fields—Addresses must contain a street name and either a subdistrict, regency/city, or postcode.
  • Abbreviations in addresses—The geocoder recognizes common words, directionals, house number indicators, and abbreviations used in addresses and can geocode these addresses successfully.
  • Numbers, Numeric Equivalents, and Ordinals—Numbered streets are mapped to the named equivalents. Ordinals are also recognized in input addresses.

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][areaName3][areaName2][postal_code]

Where:
  • [address_number] is optional.
  • [street_info] consists of the street name, street type and any pre- or post-directional information (for example, East, West, etc.). Optional.
  • [areaName3] is the village.
  • [areaName2] is the regency.
  • [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.

Custom Options

There are no options specific to Indonesia.
