Why WattleAddr

The sovereign choice for address data

Google Places is fast — but every keystroke your customers type leaves the country. For regulated, government and privacy-conscious teams, that’s a dealbreaker. WattleAddr is the alternative.

Data sovereignty

Every request is served from Australian infrastructure. Nothing is processed, cached or routed offshore — ever. Built for teams with data-residency obligations.

Privacy by default

Your end-users’ addresses never touch a third-party ad platform. You control how long search logs are kept — or store queries hashed.

Honest, open-data pricing

We build on the free, open national address file — so you get fair per-lookup pricing, a real free tier, and no per-seat surprises.

One Australian vendor

From the makers of WattleDB. One sovereignty posture, one invoice, one support team that answers in your timezone.

How it works

From nothing to live in minutes

1

Create a workspace

Sign up and grab a publishable key for the browser and a secret key for your backend.

2

Lock it to your domain

Publishable keys only work on the domains you allow, and are rate-limited per referrer.

3

Drop in the widget

Attach the autocomplete to any input, or call the REST API directly. One session = one billable lookup.

Browser widgetREST API
// one script, one key, domain-locked
const wa = new WattleAddr('waddr_pk_live_…');

wa.attach('#shipping-address', {
  state: 'NSW',
  onSelect: (addr) => {
    console.log(addr.formatted);
    // "1 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000"
  },
});

Addresses that exist — not mail deliverability

WattleAddr tells you an address is real, standardised and where it is. It is not a postal deliverability or mail-house service (that’s Australia Post’s AMAS/PAF). We’re upfront about scope so you buy the right tool.
