Frequently asked questions

Is StreetKit NZ Post certified?

No. StreetKit v1 should be treated as address autocomplete based on official/open address data. It does not provide NZ Post certification or delivery-point guarantees.

Does StreetKit prove an address is deliverable?

No. A physical address record can be useful for autocomplete without proving mail or courier deliverability.

What data is the first version based on?

The first version is based on official/open New Zealand address data, starting with LINZ NZ Addresses, transformed into a static autocomplete index.

What does StreetKit receive from my form?

The autocomplete flow only needs the typed address query to fetch static index shards and detail files. It does not need unrelated form fields such as names, emails, carts, or accounts.

Can I self-host the index?

The widget supports a custom indexBaseUrl, which is the path for staging, private CDN, or self-hosted static index files.

Can I use StreetKit with React or server-rendered pages?

Yes. The widget attaches to a normal input element, so it can be initialized after your framework renders that input.

Why do local searches return few results?

The local site uses a small fixture index at /index/v1. It is for demo and development use, not complete coverage.
