Address API After the PAF Ruling: A Compliant Alternative

Migration from getAddress or PAF providers

The Homedata address API is a drop-in replacement for getAddress and similar providers. The endpoint accepts a partial address or postcode and returns a list of matching addresses with canonical format, UPRN, and coordinates.

Unlike PAF-based providers, every result includes a UPRN — enabling immediate enrichment with EPC, flood risk, sold prices, and council tax data without a second address-matching step.
