Has anyone noticed ?

For example, https://plus.codes/api?address=796RWF8Q+WF&key=YOURKEY or https://plus.codes/api?address=796RWF8Q%2BWF&key=YOURKEY

does not show street address anymore. Document example: https://github.com/google/open-location-code/wiki/Plus-codes-API

Unfortunately the Plus Codes API doesn't return best_street_address as of a few months ago. It wasn't directly related to plus codes, and its functionality is available in other Google APIs.

For an alternative, see other geocoding APIs like Google Maps Platform (includes plus codes in results, large monthly free quota): https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start#reverse

Or Nominatim (free, see https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/ for API usage etiquette or build your own server: https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/admin/Installation/): https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/api/Reverse/
