I want to make a filter to exclude internal traffic of a company. Should I use public IPs or not? I ve got a large range of IPs.
You would need to use the public IP address, and then use regex to filter the ranges. (Friendly reminder to post coding questions only to this forum.)

Certain specific partial Hawaiian addresses result in validated address responses that use ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa rather than USA.
Typically the partial addresses that produce these response are where the St/Rd/Ln component is missing.
Of the form: 56-8769 Aloha, Kainaliu
If the St. is added then the response uses USA as expected. If the town is omitted and the partial address first line is used then the response uses USA as expected.
Anyone else run into this? Any ideas of the cause? and how to work around it?
I tried this using remote calls to the API and the demo app that Google provides with the Address Validation API documentation. Both produced the same results.
I am trying to get the spam assassin score via the public email, is that possible?
While searching that, most of the suggestion shows to enable to spam filter in c panel, is that needed one?
This question here basically asks the same question:
Restrict Google Places Autocomplete to return addresses only
But doesn't get the right answer.
If we look at the official documentation examples they have an option to selected address type. However, on it, we can see that it will allow us to selected just streets:
Is there a way to make Places Autocomplete select real addresses only?
Since this question is quite old, the search result is now somehow different but the fact that address type returns street addresses remains the same.
And to clarify things here, the API is working as intended when it returns street addresses.
types=address seems to be quite vague and what you need to do is to be more specific if you don't want street address to be included.
Here's a table for reference on the different types of restrictions for autocomplete from the Place Types Documentation.
Table 3: Type collections supported in Place Autocomplete requests
The supported types are:
geocode instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only geocoding results, rather than business results. Generally, you use this request to disambiguate results where the location specified may be indeterminate.
address instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only geocoding results with a precise address. Generally, you use this request when you know the user will be looking for a fully specified address.
establishment instructs the Place Autocomplete service to return only business results.
(regions) type collection instructs the Places service to return any result matching the following types:
locality
sublocality
postal_code
country
administrative_area_level_1
administrative_area_level_2
(cities) type collection instructs the Places service to return results that match locality or administrative_area_level_3.
To further prove this, I tried using the official documentation example for testing.
I tried searching real street address with both types=address and types=geocode and they return street addresses as expected.
With address type:
With geocode type:
Then I tried the types=establishment and it did not return any street addresses.
With establishment type:
You can use any other types value apart from types=establishment like the (cities) and (regions). As long as you are specific in your restrictions, things will be working fine. You can just put some toggle on your app to change restrictions just like on the official docs example so that your end user could freely choose the restrictions. But it still depends on your use case.
Hope this helps.
On the request for current place I receive a list of places. Every place has an address but that address is a string so I can't get only the country name.
Could someone help me on this matter?
Country is only explicitly available when using the Place Details API, not the Places API. (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/details)
You first need to look up a place_id for the specific place you're looking for. You then use your place_id to pull details from the Details API, which includes information like:
Fully formatted address, including country
Address components
Sample reviews
Phone # and website
Operating hours
If you have read the Google Places Autocomplete doc,you must know about API properties.you can use the type as '(region)' and will return you many results (plus country).And if you look inside address_components field (it's array with dynamic length),you will see,that the last item of array is what you need.Here is a great page to read a correct doc and try examples yourself.

I'm using Google Places API to get nearby places, but I've noticed that while I get the place names and addresses, the results don't include the Country.
Is there a way to get the country included in the results?
This is the call I'm using:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/xml?location=<lat,lng>&radius=100&sensor=true&key=<api_key>
Thanks!
The Geocoding API is what you want.
Try
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Calgary,%20Alberta&sensor=false
it'll return fully formatted address info in several ways (split by administrative level, formatted as an address,etc.)
also the place Types blog in google api will help..link is here
