Naming
- JSON response fields use camelCase, except stable v1 fields such as
distance_m,address_count,top_left,bottom_right, anderror.request_id. *Idfields are opaque strings. Do not parse them.*Atfields are RFC 3339 timestamps with a timezone.*Datefields are calendar dates inYYYY-MM-DDformat.*Countmeans dataset cardinality.*Creditsmeans billing or usage units.
Address match quality
prontiqMatchScore and prontiqMatchQuality are Prontiq-computed request
match-quality fields. Use them for thresholds, sorting, prompts, analytics, and
accept/review flows.
They are not G-NAF source confidence, deliverability, or geocode precision.
G-NAF confidence
confidence on full address documents is G-NAF source-record metadata. It tells
you how many contributor datasets support the address record:
Autocomplete does not return G-NAF
confidence by default.
Debug diagnostics
Public Address endpoints acceptdebug=true for support diagnostics. Debug
fields are not business-decision fields.
debug.searchScore, when present, is an unstable internal search relevance
score. It may change between requests, data refreshes, or implementation
releases. Do not store it, sort by it, or use it for business logic.
