The Address Validation API allows developers to verify the accuracy of addresses. Given an address, it returns information about the correctness of the components of the parsed address, a geocode, and a verdict on the deliverability of the parsed address.
To call this service, we recommend that you use the Google-provided client libraries. If your application needs to use your own libraries to call this service, use the following information when you make the API requests.
Discovery document
A Discovery Document is a machine-readable specification for describing and consuming REST APIs. It is used to build client libraries, IDE plugins, and other tools that interact with Google APIs. One service may provide multiple discovery documents. This service provides the following discovery document:
