Input Fields
For Ireland, GeocodeAddressGlobal takes a street address or intersection as input. To obtain the best performance and the most possible matches, your input address lists should be as complete as possible, free of misspellings and incomplete addresses, and as close to postal authority standards as possible. Most postal authorities have websites that contain information about address standards for their particular country.
The following table lists the input fields used for geocoding locations in Ireland.
AddressLine1
For most countries, the AddressLine1 field should contain the address line that has the street name and building number in it.
This field can also contain the full address. For more information, see Single Line Input.
For all countries except Argentina, Great Britain, and Japan, this field can contain
a street intersection. To specify a street intersection, use double ampersand
(&&
) to separate the streets. For more information, see
Street Intersection Input.
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
AddressLine1 |
One of the following:
|
AddressLine2 |
This field is not used in this country. |
City |
The city or town name. For most countries, your input address should use the official city name or alias. |
County |
The meaning of county varies by country.
|
FirmName |
A place name, such as a building name or company name. |
HouseNumber |
The building number. You may get better parsing results for some countries if you put the house number in this field instead of AddressLine1. Not every country includes house number data. Note: The house number specified in the HouseNumber field takes
precedence over any house number specified in the AddressLine1
field.
|
LastLine |
The last line of the address.
|
Locality |
The meaning of locality varies by country. Generally a locality is a village in rural areas or it may be a suburb in urban areas. When used, a locality typically appears on the last line of the address with the postcode.
|
PostalCode |
The postal code in the appropriate format for the country. In Ireland, postal data is available only for Dublin. For street-level geocoding, enter the full postcode in the format Dublin#, where # ranges from 1-24 (and one district known as Dublin6W). For postal centroid geocoding (or postal centroid fallback) use only the postal number as input. For example, specify the PostalCode as 3 rather than Dublin3. Only the postcode number is returned for postal centroid geocoding or fallback. |
StateProvince |
The meaning of State/Province varies by country.
