Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

Hi Eric, Do you know why using the provinceCode in a request for a South African address returns an InvalidGeoLocation? Using the address of the Google Johannesburg office, here's a request that works: 'streetAddress2': None, 'countryCode': 'ZA', 'cityName': 'Bryanston, Johannesburg', 'stree

Hi Alexander, I'm able to geocode that address without any problems: 235 Regent Street London England ENG W1B 2EL GB 51514343 -141765 235 Regent Street London ENG England W1B 2EL GB qrvM3... GeoLocatio

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

Thanks Eric, Unfortunately the api requires the postalCode... This address or any other UK or South African address is accepted in UI and can be downloaded with the same post code. You can try Apple's store address in London taken from the official site : 235 Regent Street London, W1B 2EL Engl

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

Hi Alex, Some trial and error indicates that the service is rejecting it with the postalCode specified, but working correctly without a postal code. Unfortunately I don't have any information as to why this is the case. Is this address validating correctly in the UI? Best, - Eric -- =~=~=~

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

Hi Eric Can you explain to me why this address is invalid geolocation or any address in UK? : 'streetAddress' :17 Rectory Terrace , 'streetAddress2' : '' , 'cityName' : Cambridge, 'provin

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

1) It's pointless to even populate provinceCode. It doesn't come down with the locations anyway (it's always null) and as far as I can tell, is ignored. 2) Right, but what I really wanted was the list countries that don't work as expected. From what I can tell these are the United Kingdom, Eg

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

Hi Luke, There is certainly more we can do to document the behavior of this service, and thank you for bringing up these points. In regards to your questions: 1) As you've found, it's better to remove the country-code prefix when populating the provinceCode. Although US-NJ works, it's safer t

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

First, it's not really a specific address. It's a general question about what is supposed to be in provinceName and what the rules are around provinces in general. If you send a US address with US-NJ as the province code and leave provinceName blank, you do not get an error. However if you

Hi Luke, Can you post a specific address that you are struggling with? Perhaps that will help illustrate the issue more clearly. Best, - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.c

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

I'm bumping this old thread because I'm running into the same issue. As the OP points out, locations provinceCodes are not the same as for GeoTargeting . For the US this is easy to solve (remove country code), but I need to know the exact list of supported countries and what those province cod

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

The states are just the normal abbreviations for states: NY, CA, NJ. This value is part of an Address object: address.setStreetAddress( address1 ); //1 Main St address.setCityName( city ); //Beverly Hills address.setPostalCode( zip ); //90210 address.setProvinceCode( country + "-" + state ); //US-
