SINGLEV2 and COMPLV2 are the classic DQE endpoints for single-line address autocomplete: the user types any part of an address into a single field to get ranked suggestions, then retrieves available sub-building details once a result is selected.
The user types freely; SINGLEV2 returns ranked suggestions in real time. After selection, COMPLV2 retrieves sub-building options (building names, floor numbers, apartment numbers).
SINGLEV2
Standard API endpoint for address autocomplete. Accepts
partial or complete free-text input and returns a ranked
list of address suggestions. Each suggestion carries an
IDVoie used as input to COMPLV2 for sub-building
completion.
Request
Both GET and POST are supported.

→ l%27%C3%A9glise.

of

TypeVoie is empty.

Response
On success, the API returns a JSON object. Keys are rank
numbers from "1" to "n", each mapping
to a dictionary of address fields. The first result is the
closest match to the input.
"1"
is the best match; higher numbers are alternate candidates.
The label field contains the ready-to-display
string for your autocomplete dropdown - everything else gives
you the structured components to populate form fields.
| Key | Description | France | International |
|---|---|---|---|
| label |

Numbers in [brackets] indicate the
number was not found in the reference data. See
Label field - display only
for usage notes.
Only use
label to populate the suggestion dropdown - never to store the address.See integration guide →

COMPLV2
Second step of the single-line approach. Given a street and street number selected from a SINGLEV2 result, returns a list of sub-building suggestions: building names, floor numbers, company names, apartment numbers.
IDVoie and IDNum returned
by SINGLEV2 to get granular sub-building options. If no
sub-building options exist for the address, no numbered
entries are returned.
Request
Both GET and POST are supported.
