A request to the Geocode service returns a GeocodeServiceResponse object that contains:
  • totalPossibleCandidates— the total number of possible candidates.
  • totalMatches— the total number of matches.
  • candidates — lists one or more candidates that matched to your input address/addresses. Matching and location information is returned for each match candidate.
  • new customValues —custom value returns.

This table describes the possible return fields available for the Geocoding Service. Not every field will be returned with a match candidate.

Field Type Description
totalPossibleCandidates Integer Indicates the total number of possible candidates.
totalMatches Integer Indicates the total number of matches.
candidates object of type Candidate, consisting of an array with one or more match candidates and associated addresses, matching and location information. Contains the following elements:
precisionLevel Integer A code describing the precision of the geocode. One of the following:

LEVEL_NUMBER LevelNumber

The number of a floor or level in a multistory building. For example,

Floor 2, 17 Jones Street

The GNAF database includes level information for some Australian states. Level information may be associated with unit information, but not necessarily. If the GNAF database contains multiple records with the same level, the level information is returned only if the input address contains unique content (such as a unit number). If the GNAF dictionary has level information for an address, that information is returned with the matched candidate.

The correct level information is returned (when available) even if the input address did not include level information, or if the input had the wrong level information. If the input address has level information but the GNAF database does not include level information for the matching address, then the input level information is discarded since it is not validated in the GNAF data.
LEVEL_TYPE LevelType

The label used for a floor of a multistory building. For example, "Level" or "Floor". In this example, the level type is "Level":

Suite 3 Level 7, 17 Jones Street

In this example, Suite 3 is a unit.
