Address Objects
We have three different types of objects suited to primary business regions being Australia, New Zealand and International (rest of world).
Address Objects
Objects that are part of every response object
Australian Address.
New Zealand Address.
An Australian address for validation.
A New Zealand address for validation.
International Address.
Address container.
Request wrapper for address REST methods.
Response wrapper for address REST methods.
Options applied for each request.
Universal Response Objects
We have three different types of objects suited to primary business regions being Australia, New Zealand and International (rest of world). However, if you need to integrate your global business need a set of universal objects.
We've created universal response components to enable consistent information no matter which address object best suits your business need.
When integrating to a platform we recommend using the universal response objects for consistency and scale.
See Address Field Mappings Guide for recommendations.

suppressLot

moreSources enables additional datasets to be searched and results shown to the end user
Address Find only.
positionFilter
Type: Array The array of filters to be applied to the lookup result - for AU locale only.
The positionFilter option has two types of filters: Point filters (when a specific address is retrieved) and Locality filters (where a locality-level address is retrieved).
Point filters are used for the following methods:
The option values available for Point filters are:
POSTAL - filters only postal addresses (only available for find method and address v1 (deprecated) method)
ROOFTOP - filters only addresses that contain one or more subdwelling addresses (e.g. unit blocks) - the subdwelling addresses are not included
DOORSTOP - filters subdwelling addresses within 'ROOFTOP' addresses (e.g. units within a unit block) - the 'ROOFTOP' addresses are not included
SINGLE - filters addresses that represent a single address with no subdwellings (e.g. houses)
Locality filters are used for the following methods:
The option values available for Locality filters are:
PHYSICAL - filters localities that do not contain any addresses with a 'postal' type
POSTAL - filters localities that only contain addresses with a 'postal' type
BOTH - filters localities that contain at least one 'postal' address and one 'non-postal' address
addressTypeFilter
Type: Array The array of filters to be applied to the lookup result - for NZ locale only.
The addressTypeFilter option is to filter the result based on the type of delivery point in NZPAF and NZAD. It is used for find and address v1 (deprecated) method for NZPAF and NZAD Source of Truth.
The option values available for Address Type filters are:
URBAN - filters only Urban Delivery Addresses
BOX - filters only PO Box Addresses
BAG - filters only Private Bag Addresses
RURAL - filters only Rural Delivery Addresses
COUNTER - filters only Counter Delivery Addresses - PostShops, etc
CMB URBAN - filters only Community MailBox Urban Addresses
CMB RURAL - filters only Community MailBox Rural Addresses
There is an option to exclude Address Types by using "-" followed by the Address Type value to be excluded. For example {"addressTypeFilter": "-urban, -rural"} to exclude "URBAN" and "RURAL" addresses from the result.
This filter can also be used with AUPOST data set to filter out different data assets like post shops, red street posting box, parcel lockers etc.
The option values available for Address Type filters using AUPOST:
UPL - filters only Parcel Locker addresses
LPO - filters only Licensed Post Office addresses
CPA - filters only Community Postal Agent addresses
RP - filters only Postshop addresses
RA- filters only Retail anexxe addresses
RSPB - filters only Red Street Posting Box addresses.
CSPB - filters only Combined Street Posting Box addresses.
singleLineHitNumber
Type: Integer The maximum number of results returned from the lookup. Note, modifying this value may impact the performance of the lookup.
caseType
Type: ("LOW"|"UP"|"TITLE") The case type for the returned addresses (single line and components). If "TITLE" is used, the returned address will be in "title" case except the Australian state abbreviation. For example: "220 George St, Sydney, NSW"
exposeAttributes
Type: Integer (0-7) Flag which determines which attributes to expose for the lookups.
"1" (001) - exposes all the default original attributes.
"2" (010) - exposes GNAFPlus attributes.
"4" (100) - exposes extra AUPAF permission and delivery schedule attributes.
The value can be added up for different combinations of attributes exposure. e.g. if it is "3" (001+010=011(3)), it will expose all the default original attributes + GNAFPlus attributes.
This option can be used for retrieve method, address v1 (deprecated), and Address cleanse Methods.
exposePhantom
Type: ("0"|"1") Flag which determines whether to expose phantom addresses for AUPAF address lookup. If the flag is set to "1", it will expose phantom address. Otherwise it will not.
baseSource
Type: ("GNAF"|"AUPAF") Flag is used in together with SourceOfTruth as AUSOTS. It determines which data source is used as the base for the search result. Additional information from the other source (if available) is added to the addresses from base result. Some addresses may not be found from the base result given the top number but they may be found from the other source. In this case, these addresses are appended to the result list with additional information from the base source (if available).
strictFieldValidation
Type: ("0"|"1") This option is only effective when the request payload has values for field state, locality, or postcode in addition to fullAddress. The default value is "1" which means it strictly limits the results in the response to the requested values for field such as state, locality or postcode. When this option is set to "0", it prioritizes the reseults with requested values in the response but it still includes other search results.
standardizeSource
Type: ("AUPAF"|"GNAF"|"NZPAF") The source used to standardize result fields such as Street Type, Flat Unit Type, Floor Level Type, Street Suffix Type and Postal Type.
splitNzFloorLevel
Type: ("0"|"1") If the flag is set to "1", the floor information will be splitted into "floorLevelType" and "floorLevelNumber". The flag is only available when using with "NZPAF", and will be ignored when using with other sources. The default value is "0".
groupAddresses
Type: ("0"|"1") A flag to control whether addresses are grouped together or not for "AUPAF" and "GNAF" Source of Truth. If the flag is set to "1", the service will try to collapse sub-dwelling addresses within the same primary address into a group to reduce clutter. This option is used for find method and address v1 (deprecated) method. The default value is "0".The new Javascript client (since version 1.7.0) supports this feature.
radius
Type: Integer Distance in meter from the origin to search. It is used by reverseGeocode API and the default value is 50 meters.The new Javascript client (since version 1.7.0) supports this feature.
prioritizedSort
Type: ("0"|"1") Flag which determines whether to sort the locality information based on popularity of addresses for the locality search API. If the flag is set to "1", the locality search result will be sorted by popularity. By default, the value is "1".
exposeChanges
Type: ("0"|"1") Flag which determines whether to include PDP change item in CLEANSE API response. If the flag is set to "1", PDP changed items will be exposed. By default, it will not be exposed.
