I am in search of an IBMi API that could validate existence of an address, I am not sure if there is any native IBMi API that can do this, since all my search has exhausted.

I tried looking at validateaddress api provided by google, but am not sure if that can be invoked from an IBMi SQLRPGLE program. (I am okay if anyone could point me in the direction to integrate this service with my IBMi program).

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/address-validation/demo

I am open to any thoughts/ suggestions on this topic.

  • Lots of articles around consuming Web APIs from RPG IV. Do some research, pick your tooling (SQL, HTTP API, Bvstools, ... The version of IBM i you are working with will matter.) and if you have problems ask a specific question. – Charles Jan 30 '23 at 19:21
  • @Charles, I have a bunch of addresses kept in PF and the client wants them to be geo validated like whether they exist or not. Could you be able to list out few names for free APIs that can help validate address with geo location, mostly any accurate API that i have encountered is pay per use basis. – mrsorrted Feb 15 '23 at 05:20

I don't know what kind of API Google exposes. Maybe you want to have a look at this IT Jungle Article about how to use SQL to connect to an API service for a start.
