Data sources / attribution
Official/open address data
The first StreetKit version is based on official/open New Zealand address data, starting with LINZ NZ Addresses.
Source model
StreetKit transforms source address records into a static search index, compact suggestion records, and detail JSON for selected addresses. Dataset version and build metadata should be visible so developers can debug changes.
StreetKit is an autocomplete/index product. It is not the official source of addresses and does not provide postal-delivery certification.
LINZ attribution placeholder
Attribution placeholder: contains address data sourced from Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) NZ Addresses. Final production pages should include the required LINZ attribution, licence wording, source links, dataset version, build date, and known limitations.
Data limitations
- Official/open physical address data is not the same as delivery-point data.
- A source address may not be postal-deliverable.
- Some fields, such as postcodes or coordinates, may be absent or incomplete.
- Dataset changes should be expected as source data is updated.
