Hi Team,

I have the next use cases I want to know what TMF API use:

1. Customer provides x,y address coordinates, What TMF API use to validate Address?  TMF 673?
2. if customer does not have x,y address coordinates, is there any API to obtain the coordinates?  if not, how to validate that Address?
3. After Address validation, we need to determine what  are the technologies available(geographical coverage) in that Address.  What API should I use in this case?

Thansk for your help.

Regards, Juan

Hi Juan,

Great questions! Here's a quick breakdown:

• Address Validation → Use TMF673 – Geographic Address Management API.

• Coordinates (if missing) → TMF doesn't provide geocoding directly. In our projects at Zaytrics, we integrate providers like Google Maps Geocoding API or OpenStreetMap Nominatim.

• Service Availability / Coverage → Use TMF701 – Service Qualification API. Optionally, TMF674 for site management.

        In short: TMF673 for validation, external geocoding if needed, TMF701 for availability.

Thanks @Usman Akram for your feedback
