- administrative_area_level_1 short_name fields filled with long-name values. - Missing country field in address / POI response.

Incident began at 2024-06-28 20:59 and ended at 2024-06-29 03:16 (all times are US/Pacific).

Date Time Description
29 Jun 2024 03:16 PDT

The issue with Geocoding API and Places API searches (legacy API, New API, JavaScript and Mobile endpoints) has been resolved for all affected requests as of Saturday, 2024-06-29 03:00 US/Pacific.

We thank you for your patience while we worked on resolving the issue.

Summary: administrative_area_level_1 short_name fields filled with long-name values.

Description: We believe the issue with Geocoding API and Places API (all versions and SDKs) is resolved for the most part.

Thanks to the data update still being deployed to some datacenters, the ratio of affected responses has dropped significantly and is still reducing.

We will provide an update by Saturday, 2024-06-29 04:00 US/Pacific with current details.

Diagnosis:

  • administrative_area_level_1 short_name fields are containing full-name responses, mainly affecting US states.

  • ZERO_RESULTS responses in reverse-geocoding queries, possibly Places API searches as well, but NOT Places Autocomplete.

Workaround:

  • Temporarily avoid using short names for states or similar administrative entities, whether in searches, filtering parameters, or response fields.

  • Allow for responses to have missing political/admin entity fields.

Summary: administrative_area_level_1 short_name fields filled with long-name values.

Description: We are experiencing an issue with Geocoding API, Places API, and Places API (New) beginning on Friday, 2024-06-28 15:00 US/Pacific.

The symptoms are:

  • short_name fields filled with full-name values, in particular for US states. (for instance "California" instead of "CA")

  • We believe this may also have increased ZERO_RESULTS responses in reverse-geocoding queries, and potentially in Places API (both the legacy and New versions) for some use-cases. This would NOT affect Places Autocomplete.

See also https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/350113838 for a description of symptoms from other customers.

Our engineering teams believe they have found the likely root-cause (being a backend data-source discrepancy), and have written a candidate fix.

At this stage the fix is expected to take several hours (possibly up to a day) before being fully deployed, as it will require a data schema update and pipeline run to fill/update that data source. We recommend for affected customers to implement workaround measures in the meantime.

We will provide an update by Saturday, 2024-06-29 03:00 US/Pacific with current details.

We apologize to all who are affected by the disruption.
