Does Google's Geocoding API produce any quality code like Mapquest API generating the quality code for the addresses?

Question

This is the JSON response of mapquest API which has this attribute below:

{
...
"geocodeQualityCode": "A5XAX"
...

}

likewise is there any implementation provided by Google API?

Answer 1

Google's Geocoding API does not provide a geocodeQualityCode attribute.

However it does return some information on the quality of the results in the following fields:

geometry.location_type: The following values are currently supported:

"ROOFTOP" indicates that the returned result is a precise geocode for which we have location information accurate down to street address precision.

"RANGE_INTERPOLATED" indicates that the returned result reflects an approximation (usually on a road) interpolated between two precise points (such as intersections).

"GEOMETRIC_CENTER" indicates that the returned result is the geometric center of a result such as a polyline (for example, a street) or polygon (region).

"APPROXIMATE" indicates that the returned result is approximate.

partial_match indicates that the geocoder did not return an exact match for the original request, though it was able to match part of the requested address.

Hope you find this helpful.
