Enums
EFFORT_UNSPECIFIED
Default value.
LOW
Optimizes for the fastest response times. Does not perform extended search or disambiguation for difficult addresses.
MEDIUM
Balances speed and accuracy. Most requests return with standard low latency. For ambiguous or difficult addresses, the service applies additional processing to improve accuracy, with bounded latency that might take up to a few seconds. Recommended for interactive workflows where users can tolerate a brief pause.
HIGH
Maximizes address resolution accuracy for complex, informal, or landmark-based addresses. Response times might be significantly longer. Recommended for background, batch, or logistics dispatch workflows.
