Autofill Form with the help of ptv server

[weisss]

We are trying to design an autofill form for addresses with the help of ptv server.
The logic is: Fill in the zipcode ==> suggestions for places are shown (this could work with findAddress - but I don't know if there is a better way). When the place is picked, street suggestions must be shown. The suggested streets can be filtered. We didn't find a PTV API for that.
Is there a good solution you can recommend?

Thanks!

Hello Stephan,

before we go into technical details and APIs - how about this geocoding user experience for an interactive approach?
This is our xLocate 2 Showcase

With each typed character we perform a single field geocoding is performed - no matter what parts of the address are entered.

Best regards,
Bernd

PS: also forwarded your post to product development Let's see what the colleagues comment on this.

toggle betweeen single field (SearchByTextRequest) and multi field geocoding (SearchByAddressRequest)

I have just talked with our product owner and the customer wants to distinguish between zipcode, place and street.
So the idea is still to type in the zipcode and have suggestions for the place and after entering the place having suggestions for the street (even with filtering, p.e. first 50 entries and a text filter).
Is that possible?
