Looking for a getAddress.io replacement?
As of February 2026, getAddress.io has officially ceased all operations. If your checkout or registration forms are currently failing due to their shutdown, findAddress.io is the recommended drop-in alternative.
Unlike providers entangled in Royal Mail PAF licensing disputes such as getAddress, we utilize open licence sourced data to ensure our service remains stable, legal, and available 24/7.
Why findAddress.io?
We've optimized our API to be the easiest transition for former getAddress.io users.
✓ Zero Interruption
Our infrastructure is independent and unaffected by the recent High Court rulings impacting other providers.

✓ Simple Response Schema

✓ Lower Overhead
Avoid the "PAF Tax." Our use of open datasets allows us to offer pricing that typically beats legacy providers by 70% or more with accuracy suitable for the majority of use cases.

✓ Get rid of drop down selection errors
Most lookups require a single unified address to prevent shipping errors. Unlike other providers we provide a single returned address validated at street level rather than a list which can be erroneously selected from.

Switching is easy
// 1. Update your Base URL
const API_URL = "https://findaddress.io/API/";
// 2. Fetch using house/postcode
(async () => {
const res = await fetch(`${API_URL}?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&house=10&postcode=SW1A2AA`, {
headers: {
"content-type": "application/json"
}
});
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
})();
// 3. Get a single formatted address including geodata
{
"result": "Success",

"expandedAddress": {
"house": "10",
"street": "Downing street",
"town": "London",
"County": "Greater London",

}
