Interface ReverseGeocodeRequest

Type declaration

• Optional enable_address_descriptor?: boolean

  Determines whether the address descriptor is returned in the response.

• Optional language?: Language

  The language in which to return results.

  • Google often updates the supported languages, so this list may not be exhaustive.
  • If language is not supplied, the geocoder attempts to use the preferred language as specified in the Accept-Language header, or the native language of the domain from which the request is sent.
  • The geocoder does its best to provide a street address that is readable for both the user and locals. To achieve that goal, it returns street addresses in the local language, transliterated to a script readable by the user if necessary, observing the preferred language. All other addresses are returned in the preferred language. Address components are all returned in the same language, which is chosen from the first component.
  • If a name is not available in the preferred language, the geocoder uses the closest match.

• Optional latlng?: LatLng

  The latitude and longitude values specifying the location for which you wish to obtain the closest, human-readable address.

• Optional location_type?: ReverseGeocodingLocationType[]

  A filter of one or more location types, separated by a pipe (|). If the parameter contains multiple location types, the API returns all addresses that match any of the types. A note about processing: The location_type parameter does not restrict the search to the specified location type(s). Rather, the location_type acts as a post-search filter: the API fetches all results for the specified latlng, then discards those results that do not match the specified location type(s). Note: This parameter is available only for requests that include an API key or a client ID.

• Optional place_id?: string

  The place ID of the place for which you wish to obtain the human-readable address. The place ID is a unique identifier that can be used with other Google APIs. For example, you can use the placeID returned by the Roads API to get the address for a snapped point. The place ID may only be specified if the request includes an API key or a Google Maps APIs Premium Plan client ID.

• Optional result_type?: AddressType[]

  A filter of one or more address types, separated by a pipe (|). If the parameter contains multiple address types, the API returns all addresses that match any of the types. A note about processing: The result_type parameter does not restrict the search to the specified address type(s). Rather, the result_type acts as a post-search filter: the API fetches all results for the specified latlng, then discards those results that do not match the specified address type(s). Note: This parameter is available only for requests that include an API key or a client ID.
