Convert address to coordinates

Basic information

Method	URL	Authorization
`GET`	`https://dapi.kakao.com/v2/local/search/address.${FORMAT}`	REST API key

Permission	Prerequisite	Kakao Login	User consent
-	REST API key	-	-

Provides the coordinates of the requested address with the land-lot number address, road name address, coordinates, zip code, building name, etc., to display the address precisely on the map.

Add your REST API key to the request header, and send a GET request. You can optionally add the parameters to set the result format to your request along with the search query. It supports both the land-lot number address and road name address systems, and the response supports both XML and JSON formats.

New parameter: analyze_type

As of January 25, 2021, new optional parameter, analyze_type, is added to improve search results. Refer to DevTalk for more details.
