I got a few problems when doing request, sometimes it take the house number and other times when it gives back the answer, it seems like it loose the house number. While other times it keep it. I use the API. ---

Hey, could you provide a few request examples for these issues, please? Ideally in cURL format, which you can easily extract from our [interactive API docs](https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs) - see “Show example code”. Best regards ---

Hey, first, notice that the housenumber is in the `query` part of the response, so it got picked up by the query. Now, looking at the response, the returned point and the corresponding data on e.g. OpenStreetMap, it simply seems as if no housenumber data exists for that place in any of the sources the geocoder is using.

Hey, I’m not quite sure I understand your issue, so keep in mind that this answer might not go in the right direction at all. It is not the purpose of a geocoder to find out whether there is a house somewhere, but rather to get an accurate geographical location from a textual description. Thus, you are not asking “Is there a house at _Viale Castagnola 31, Lugano_”, but you are asking "What is the best guess at a coordinate for _Viale Castagnola 31, Lugano_. Best regards. ---
