    Hi, do you have a widget that allows the user to enter their house number and postcode and then search for their full address?


    Thanks.

    Please check GeoComplete widget - https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/geocomplete 

    This widget allows you to find locations by zip code, street numbers, street name, business names among other address identifiers.

    Thanks.  I tried the demo, but the widget doesn't seem to do anything when I type in the first line of my address or postcode or even city.

    After you add the widget to your form, you must configure it with the API key you received from Google Maps.

    If you add Google Maps API key, could you please share the link of the form you are working with?

    But why doesn't the demo work?  I don't really want to go to the trouble of getting a Google Maps API key if it turns out the widget doesn't do what I want.


    Thanks.

    It seems that the Google Maps API on your demo form expired or it is not working. 

    Please test the GeoComplete widget on this form - https://form.jotform.com/90725965416970

    Thanks.

    Can you tell me which of the Google products I need the API key for so that I can work out the price?

    E.g. is it:

    Mobile Native Static Maps


    Embed

    Embed Advanced


    Static Maps


    Dynamic Maps

    Thanks.

    You can test the demo form again from here https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/geocomplete

    It should work. Th API on the demo form was just not updated.

    Also, is it possible to restrict the widget/API to only return addresses from the UK?

    Thanks.

    You need the Maps Javascript API. Here's the URL https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

    You can create one from here https://console.developers.google.com/projectselector2/apis/credentials?pli=1 and make sure to enable "Maps JavaScript API" on the dashboard.

    Unfortunately, this widget has only 2 restrictions at the moment, it's either US or Worldwide.

    Anyway, I have opened a feature request for this widget to include UK on the search restriction list. Once this is added in the future, we'll inform you here.
