Google Places Autocomplete Alternative

Question

The project I'm working on uses google auto-complete to help users enter POIs and addresses. This works fine, but we want to filter the autocomplete results by specific areas that we define in polygons.

Since Google does not send latitude and longitude in response, it is not possible to use their api. Of course, we could send a second request to receive this data, but this does not seem like a good solution to both performance and data usage.

I looked through aps. This works fine, but the address support is poor, the api is mainly based on POI.

Are there any alternatives to google places that return both addresses and POIs?

Answer 1

I’m looking for options myself. You might want to give Pelias a try. The main reason I'm distracting from Google Places is due to licensing restrictions.

Have you tried the TomTom Search API?

The geometry search endpoint allows you to search within a specific polygon.
