Google geocoding API - Search on specific fields

Question

I know Google provides various component types to search upon, apart from the list shown below.

administrative_area_level_1
administrative_area_level_2
locality
sublocality
postalcode

suppose user searches for something. Is it possible to restrict the user search for only above mentioned parameters instead of all.

How can I make my URL then.

Country I know I can restrict. this is the URL I'm forming and hitting,

But I want to restrict the search ( uttam+nagar ) on above parameters only.

Answer 1

If I've understand your needs, I think you can use Component filtering

You can also set the Geocoding Service to return address results restricted to a specific area. Specify the restriction by using the componentRestrictions parameter. A filter consists of one or more of: route, locality, administrativeArea, postalCode or country. Only results matching all the filters will be returned. Filter values support the same methods of spelling correction and partial matching as other geocoding requests.
