Address Field

The Address field suggests real locations as someone types. It uses the Google Places API to ensure each address is valid.

Example of the Address question type

Get a Google Places API Key

Google includes the first 10k autocomplete requests every month for free. You can estimate usage costs and explore additional pricing tiers with Google’s calculator here.

Important: The Address field will not function unless a valid Google Places API key is provided.

  1. Visit the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Enable the Places API (New) for your project.
    ❗ Make sure that it's the new API. There is another one named Places API without (New), and that is the incorrect API.
  3. Create credentials and copy your API key.

Add the Key to Deformity

There are two places you can save your Places API key. The first is beneath the Address point in the builder. A button will appear that says "Add Google Places API Key".

Clicking that will open up this modal:

Using the Address Field

After saving your key, add an Address point in the builder. Respondents will see autocomplete suggestions and must choose a valid result before they can continue.
