PostalAddress

Represents a postal address. For example 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 by 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.

}
Fields
revision

integer

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.
regionCode

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.
languageCode

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".
postalCode

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 (For example state/zip validation in the U.S.A.).
sortingCode

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 (For example "CEDEX 7"), or just a number alone, representing the "sector code" (Jamaica), "delivery area indicator" (Malawi) or "post office indicator" (For example Côte d'Ivoire).
administrativeArea

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 (For example "Barcelona" and not "Catalonia"). Many countries don't use an administrative area in postal addresses. For example in Switzerland this should be left unpopulated.
locality

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 addressLines.
sublocality

string

Optional. Sublocality of the address. For example, this can be neighborhoods, boroughs, districts.
addressLines[]

string

Unstructured address lines describing the lower levels of an address.

Because values in addressLines do not have type information and may sometimes contain multiple values in a single field (For example "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 (For example Japan), address_language is used to make it explicit (For example "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 regionCode with all remaining information placed in the addressLines. 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 regionCode and addressLines, 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).
recipients[]

string

Optional. The recipient at the address. This field may, under certain circumstances, contain multiline information. For example, it might contain "care of" information.
organization

string

Optional. The name of the organization at the address.

PhoneNumber

An object representing a phone number, suitable as an API wire format.

This representation:

  • should not be used for locale-specific formatting of a phone number, such as "+1 (650) 253-0000 ext. 123"

  • is not designed for efficient storage

  • may not be suitable for dialing - specialized libraries (see references) should be used to parse the number for that purpose

To do something meaningful with this number, such as format it for various use-cases, convert it to an i18n.phonenumbers.PhoneNumber object first.

For instance, in Java this would be:

com.google.type.PhoneNumber wireProto = com.google.type.PhoneNumber.newBuilder().build(); com.google.i18n.phonenumbers.Phonenumber.PhoneNumber phoneNumber = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance().parse(wireProto.getE164Number(), "ZZ"); if (!wireProto.getExtension().isEmpty()) { phoneNumber.setExtension(wireProto.getExtension()); }

JSON representation 
{
  "extension": string,

  // Union field kind can be only one of the following:
  "e164Number": string,
  "shortCode": {
    object (ShortCode)
  }
  // End of list of possible types for union field kind.
}
Fields
extension

string

The phone number's extension. The extension is not standardized in ITU recommendations, except for being defined as a series of numbers with a maximum length of 40 digits. Other than digits, some other dialing characters such as ',' (indicating a wait) or '#' may be stored here.

Note that no regions currently use extensions with short codes, so this field is normally only set in conjunction with an E.164 number. It is held separately from the E.164 number to allow for short code extensions in the future.
Union field kind. Required. Either a regular number, or a short code. New fields may be added to the oneof below in the future, so clients should ignore phone numbers for which none of the fields they coded against are set. kind can be only one of the following:
e164Number

string

The phone number, represented as a leading plus sign ('+'), followed by a phone number that uses a relaxed ITU E.164 format consisting of the country calling code (1 to 3 digits) and the subscriber number, with no additional spaces or formatting. For example: - correct: "+15552220123" - incorrect: "+1 (555) 222-01234 x123".

The ITU E.164 format limits the latter to 12 digits, but in practice not all countries respect that, so we relax that restriction here. National-only numbers are not allowed.

shortCode

object (ShortCode)

A short code.

Reference(s): - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_code

ShortCode

An object representing a short code, which is a phone number that is typically much shorter than regular phone numbers and can be used to address messages in MMS and SMS systems, as well as for abbreviated dialing (For example "Text 611 to see how many minutes you have remaining on your plan.").

Short codes are restricted to a region and are not internationally dialable, which means the same short code can exist in different regions, with different usage and pricing, even if those regions share the same country calling code (For example: US and CA).

JSON representation 
{
  "regionCode": string,
  "number": string
}
Fields
regionCode

string

Required. The BCP-47 region code of the location where calls to this short code can be made, such as "US" and "BB".

Reference(s): - http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#unicode_region_subtag
number

string

Required. The short code digits, without a leading plus ('+') or country calling code. For example "611".

The phone verification state.

Enums

PHONE_VERIFICATION_STATE_VERIFIED The phone is verified.
PHONE_VERIFICATION_STATE_UNVERIFIED The phone is unverified
