Example 1 – Searching for coordinates of two or more addresses in the same request

In this example, we’re going to look for two different addresses in the same request. To do this, we need to identify each address with the parameter id.

The first will be "Address1" and the second "Address2". The full request can be seen below:

[
    {
        "id": "Address1",
        "road": "Leopoldo Hess",
        "number": 75,
        "district": "São João",
        "zipcode": "88304-260",
        "city": "Itajai",
        "state": "SC"
    },
    {
        "id": "Address2",
        "road": "Alameda Campinas",
        "number": 579,
        "zipcode": "01419-001",
