Feedback about the outcome of the sequence of validation attempts. This should be the last call made after a sequence of validation calls for the same address, and should be called once the transaction is concluded. This should only be sent once for the sequence of `ValidateAddress` requests needed to validate an address fully.

validateAddress(body=None, x__xgafv=None)

Validates an address.

Args:
body: object, The request body.
The object takes the form of:

{ # The request for validating an address.
"address": { # Represents a postal address, e.g. for postal delivery or payments addresses. Given a postal address, a postal service can deliver items to a premise, P.O. Box or similar. It is not intended to model geographical locations (roads, towns, mountains). In typical usage an address would be created via user input or from importing existing data, depending on the type of process. Advice on address input / editing: - Use an internationalization-ready address widget such as https://github.com/google/libaddressinput) - Users should not be presented with UI elements for input or editing of fields outside countries where that field is used. For more guidance on how to use this schema, please see: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6397478 # Required. The address being validated. Unformatted addresses should be submitted via `address_lines`. The total length of the fields in this input must not exceed 280 characters. Supported regions can be found [here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/address-validation/coverage). The language_code value in the input address is reserved for future uses and is ignored today. The validated address result will be populated based on the preferred language for the given address, as identified by the system. The Address Validation API ignores the values in recipients and organization. Any values in those fields will be discarded and not returned. Please do not set them.
"addressLines": [ # Unstructured address lines describing the lower levels of an address. Because values in address_lines do not have type information and may sometimes contain multiple values in a single field (e.g. "Austin, TX"), it is important that the line order is clear. The order of address lines should be "envelope order" for the country/region of the address. In places where this can vary (e.g. Japan), address_language is used to make it explicit (e.g. "ja" for large-to-small ordering and "ja-Latn" or "en" for small-to-large). This way, the most specific line of an address can be selected based on the language. The minimum permitted structural representation of an address consists of a region_code with all remaining information placed in the address_lines. It would be possible to format such an address very approximately without geocoding, but no semantic reasoning could be made about any of the address components until it was at least partially resolved. Creating an address only containing a region_code and address_lines, and then geocoding is the recommended way to handle completely unstructured addresses (as opposed to guessing which parts of the address should be localities or administrative areas).
"A String",
],
"administrativeArea": "A String", # Optional. Highest administrative subdivision which is used for postal addresses of a country or region. For example, this can be a state, a province, an oblast, or a prefecture. Specifically, for Spain this is the province and not the autonomous community (e.g. "Barcelona" and not "Catalonia"). Many countries don't use an administrative area in postal addresses. E.g. in Switzerland this should be left unpopulated.
"languageCode": "A String", # Optional. BCP-47 language code of the contents of this address (if known). This is often the UI language of the input form or is expected to match one of the languages used in the address' country/region, or their transliterated equivalents. This can affect formatting in certain countries, but is not critical to the correctness of the data and will never affect any validation or other non-formatting related operations. If this value is not known, it should be omitted (rather than specifying a possibly incorrect default). Examples: "zh-Hant", "ja", "ja-Latn", "en".
"locality": "A String", # Optional. Generally refers to the city/town portion of the address. Examples: US city, IT comune, UK post town. In regions of the world where localities are not well defined or do not fit into this structure well, leave locality empty and use address_lines.
"organization": "A String", # Optional. The name of the organization at the address.
"postalCode": "A String", # Optional. Postal code of the address. Not all countries use or require postal codes to be present, but where they are used, they may trigger additional validation with other parts of the address (e.g. state/zip validation in the U.S.A.).
"recipients": [ # Optional. The recipient at the address. This field may, under certain circumstances, contain multiline information. For example, it might contain "care of" information.
"A String",
],
"regionCode": "A String", # Required. CLDR region code of the country/region of the address. This is never inferred and it is up to the user to ensure the value is correct. See https://cldr.unicode.org/ and https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/30/supplemental/territory_information.html for details. Example: "CH" for Switzerland.
"revision": 42, # The schema revision of the `PostalAddress`. This must be set to 0, which is the latest revision. All new revisions **must** be backward compatible with old revisions.
"sortingCode": "A String", # Optional. Additional, country-specific, sorting code. This is not used in most regions. Where it is used, the value is either a string like "CEDEX", optionally followed by a number (e.g. "CEDEX 7"), or just a number alone, representing the "sector code" (Jamaica), "delivery area indicator" (Malawi) or "post office indicator" (e.g. Côte d'Ivoire).
"sublocality": "A String", # Optional. Sublocality of the address. For example, this can be neighborhoods, boroughs, districts.
},
"enableUspsCass": True or False, # Enables USPS CASS compatible mode. This affects _only_ the [google.maps.addressvalidation.v1.ValidationResult.usps_data] field of [google.maps.addressvalidation.v1.ValidationResult]. Note: for USPS CASS enabled requests for addresses in Puerto Rico, a [google.type.PostalAddress.region_code] of the `address` must be provided as "PR", or an [google.type.PostalAddress.administrative_area] of the `address` must be provided as "Puerto Rico" (case-insensitive) or "PR". It's recommended to use a componentized `address`, or alternatively specify at least two [google.type.PostalAddress.address_lines] where the first line contains the street number and name and the second line contains the city, state, and zip code.

"returnEnglishLatinAddress": True or False, # Preview: Return a [google.maps.addressvalidation.v1.Address] in English. See [google.maps.addressvalidation.v1.ValidationResult.english_latin_address] for details.
},
"previousResponseId": "A String", # This field must be empty for the first address validation request. If more requests are necessary to fully validate a single address (for example if the changes the user makes after the initial validation need to be re-validated), then each followup request must populate this field with the response_id from the very first response in the validation sequence.
"sessionToken": "A String", # Optional. A string which identifies an Autocomplete session for billing purposes. Must be a URL and filename safe base64 string with at most 36 ASCII characters in length. Otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned. The session begins when the user makes an Autocomplete query, and concludes when they select a place and a call to Place Details or Address Validation is made. Each session can have multiple Autocomplete queries, followed by one Place Details or Address Validation request. The credentials used for each request within a session must belong to the same Google Cloud Console project. Once a session has concluded, the token is no longer valid; your app must generate a fresh token for each session. If the `sessionToken` parameter is omitted, or if you reuse a session token, the session is charged as if no session token was provided (each request is billed separately). Note: Address Validation can only be used in sessions with the Autocomplete (New) API, not the Autocomplete API. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/session-pricing for more details.

Various cases include: - If `low` = `high`, the viewport consists of that single point. - If `low.longitude` > `high.longitude`, the longitude range is inverted (the viewport crosses the 180 degree longitude line). - If `low.longitude` = -180 degrees and `high.longitude` = 180 degrees, the viewport includes all longitudes. - If `low.longitude` = 180 degrees and `high.longitude` = -180 degrees, the longitude range is empty. - If `low.latitude` > `high.latitude`, the latitude range is empty.

This may not be a road that will quickly or safely lead to the destination and may not be near an access point to the property. Additionally, when a location is reverse geocoded, there is no guarantee that the returned address will match the original.

For validation signals, refer to `validation_granularity` below. For example, if the input address includes a specific apartment number, then the `input_granularity` here will be `SUB_PREMISE`. If we cannot match the apartment number in the databases or the apartment number is invalid, the `validation_granularity` will likely be `PREMISE` or below.
"validationGranularity": "A String", # The granularity level that the API can fully **validate** the address to. For example, an `validation_granularity` of `PREMISE` indicates all address components at the level of `PREMISE` or more coarse can be validated. Per address component validation result can be found in [google.maps.addressvalidation.v1.Address.address_components].
