What can the GeoDirectory API do?
- Retrieve a list of addresses as ‘suggested matches’, that correspond to the user entered address or Eircode.
- Retrieve additional address details for a previously established GeoDirectory address, such as Eircode or latitude and longitude.
A basic implementation of the GeoDirectory API would be a user input, e.g. a search, for entering a partial address and initiating a search, which would result in a list of suggestions to be displayed to the user, from which they could then select an address that met their requirement.
Depending on the implementation, the calls would be initiated repeatedly as the user types, or wait for the user to confirm their input.
