Need any or IBMi API to validate address existence

Question

I am in search of an IBMi API that could validate existence of an address, I am not sure if there is any native IBMi API that can do this, since all my search has exhausted.

I tried looking at validateaddress api provided by google, but am not sure if that can be invoked from an IBMi SQLRPGLE program. (I am okay if anyone could point me in the direction to integrate this service with my IBMi program).

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/address-validation/demo

I am open to any thoughts/ suggestions on this topic.

I don't know what kind of API Google exposes. Maybe you want to have a look at this IT Jungle Article about how to use SQL to connect to an API service for a start.
