Learn the basics of Sthan.io and our address APIs
Sthan.io is an address and location data infrastructure platform that provides APIs for address autocomplete, address verification, address parsing, geocoding, and more.
We help businesses:
- Improve data quality with accurate address validation
- Reduce failed deliveries with verified, standardized addresses
- Enhance user experience with real-time autocomplete
- Save time with instant address entry
Our APIs currently support the United States and India with comprehensive address data coverage.
| Feature | Address Autocomplete | Address Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Suggests addresses as users type | Validates complete addresses |
| When to use | During form input | Before shipping/storing data |
| User interaction | Real-time suggestions | Background validation |
| Output | List of matching addresses | Validation status + standardized address |
Sthan.io currently provides comprehensive address data coverage for:

Technical Integration
API setup, SDKs, and implementation guidance
Sthan.io APIs are REST-based and work with any programming language that can make HTTP requests. We provide code examples for:
Since our APIs use standard HTTPS and return JSON, they work equally well with Swift, Kotlin, Rust, or any other language.
Response times vary by product:
| Product Type | Typical Response |
|---|---|
| Autocomplete APIs | Sub-100 milliseconds |
| Geocoding & IP Geolocation | Sub-300 milliseconds |
| Address Verification & Parser | 1–5 seconds (depends on complexity) |
Our infrastructure is designed for high availability with redundant systems to minimize downtime.
Sthan.io APIs return standard HTTP status codes:
| Code | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
200 |
Success | Process the response |
400 |
Bad Request | Check your request parameters |
401 |
Unauthorized | Verify your API key |
429 |
Rate Limited | Slow down requests or upgrade |
500 |
Server Error | Retry with exponential backoff |
Rate limits vary by plan and product. Check your dashboard or our pricing page for your plan's specific limits.

Security & Compliance
Data protection, privacy, and compliance information
- Encrypted communications — All API requests use TLS/SSL encryption in transit
- Token-based authentication — Secure JWT tokens with configurable expiration protect your API access
- Request monitoring — We log request metadata (IP address, timestamp, endpoint, response code) for rate limiting, abuse prevention, billing, and support. We do not sell or share this data with third parties.
- Address data handling — Address inputs are processed to generate API responses. We do not use your address data for marketing, profiling, or resale.
- Data minimization — We only process data necessary to fulfill your API request
- No data resale — We never sell or share your data with third parties
- Transparent logging — Request metadata is retained for security, billing, and support purposes
- Privacy inquiries — For questions about your data or privacy concerns, contact us at [email protected]
Read our full Privacy Policy for details.
- Address processing — Address inputs are processed in real-time to generate API responses. We do not build databases from your submitted addresses or use them beyond fulfilling your request.
- Request logging — Like all API services, we log request metadata (timestamps, IP addresses, endpoints called, response codes) for billing, rate limiting, security monitoring, and technical support.
- Your data ownership — The addresses you submit and the results you receive are yours. We do not claim ownership of your input or output data.
- No data resale — We never sell, share, or monetize your address data or API usage patterns to third parties.
