i'm looking for a free api to lookup UK addresses in PowerApps. Does anyone know of any RESTful api's out there that can help validate an address. Postcode.io would have been great but it doesn't seem to have information about the actual address.

For example if there were several buildings in the same postcode i would like all the building to be returned to the user.

Using a Paf csv file could work only if powerapps allowed importing csv files from sharepoint. Onedrive is not an option because there are several people using the App, it would not make sense tie the paf file to onedrive.

Has anyone achieved an address finder in Powerapps

Hi,

Can you please explain how you connected API with power apps. Like for HOST filed what value I should put there. PS I already created account on Get Address and I have Api key.

Thank you.

Thanks @timl
https://getaddress.io/ seems to do the job okay and is not very expensive.

Hi @Gottijay2000

Free UK postcode APIs are scarce. This one here offers 20 free lookups/day.

Do you actually have the PAF file in CSV format? If so, you could explore the option of converting it into Excel and importing it as static data.
