Call details
- Use strings.
- The city name accepts formal entries, like ”‘s-Gravenhage”. It also accepts most locally accepted variations, like “Den Haag”.
- In case of street names, this product uses NEN address formats. One of the protocols abbreviates street names to a maximum of 24 characters. In those cases it transforms “straat”, “laan” and “weg” into respectively “str”, “ln” and “wg”. Shorter street names are written in full.
- Expect multiple output in some cases. For instance “Kerkstraat 1 Rijswijk” returns addresses in two different cities: “Rijswijk ZH” and “Rijswijk GLD“. Similarly, “1060NN” returns six streets in one city: “Ben Alder”, “Ben Avon”, “Ben Hope”, “Ben Lawers”, “Ben Nevis” and “Ben Wyvis”, all situated in the city of “Amsterdam” .
- The 6 digit Postal code format is without spaces; 1000AA is valid, where 1000 AA leads to an error or empty result.
- The telephone area code consists of 3 or 4 digits.
Please consider (1) field input capital insensitive and (2) field names capital sensitive.
