Azure Address lookup - first line search

Liberty Create - Build Advice

We are using the Azure Address lookup and it searches based on postcode.
Is there any way to search instead by the first line of an address?
It seems to use the Address Plus API

/* Call Addressbase Plus API With Postcode*/

Hi Mark,

I am not familiar with this specific piece of functionality but looking at the AddressPlus API documentation, it would suggest you can with the following syntax - https://api.viaeuropa.uk.com/{id}/os/abpl/address?q={queryString}

Thanks Carl. I’ll try that.

This is the URL that the widget I am using generates:
https://uatcec.azure-api.net/logicapp/addresslookup/cw121he
I can’t find any information as to whether I can use this API to search by first line of address.
When I try it in Postman I get an error if I pass in anything other than a postcode.

Hi Mark,

It looks like this widget is triggering an API call to a Logic App that has been created by CEC and which is hosted by yourselves. Presumably this logicapp will take the requests from create and send them on to the Address Plus API - it might be worth checking with the member of the CEC team that created the logicapp to see if ‘first line address search’ is possible.
