The # character has special meaning in a URL. Anything after the # is never sent to the server at all!
You need to run your address through encodeURIComponent() before putting it into the URL. For example: var address = '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway #23, Mountain View, CA'; var url = ' http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=' + encodeURIComponent(address); The resulting URL is now: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=1600%20Amphitheatre%20Parkway%20%2323%2C%20Mountain%20View%2C%20CA and that should work fine. -Mike On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 12:48 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry if I missed this somewhere in the documentation. > > Using the online geocoding example, I added "Apt 23" to the address: > > http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway+Apt+23,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false > > This geocodes OK, but replaces "Apt" with # in the formatted address: > "formatted_address": "1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy #23, Mountain View, CA 94043, > USA" > > But if I attempt to geocode the address with the # for Apt. > > http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway+#23,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false > > that results in an error: > > { > "status": "REQUEST_DENIED", > "results": [ ] > } > > Is there some rule I don't understand about "#" here?
