Address

A self-hosted address and synthetic test-profile generator for 27 countries and regions.

English · 简体中文 · 繁體中文

CI Release Node.js 24 MIT License Live Demo

Address combines real open-data streets, administrative areas, coordinates, and postcodes with clearly marked synthetic indoor details. It produces source-language, English, and Simplified-Chinese address presentations plus coherent profile fields for form and software testing.

Generated records are test data. They do not prove deliverability, residency, identity, payment-account validity, or ownership.

🚀 Workflow

Choose a country and location → select ordinary or evidence-backed residential mode → generate an address and test profile → copy individual fields or export the result.

✨ Features

  • Covers 27 countries and regions with region, city, and postcode filters.
  • Uses exact → nearby → same-region → nationwide fallback for synchronized countries.
  • Supports IP-nearby generation with a local SQLite RTree fallback.
  • Presents addresses in the source language, English, and Simplified Chinese.
  • Separates source-backed address components from labeled synthetic indoor fields.
  • Generates coherent basic profile, sandbox card, employment, finance, and network fields.
  • Provides Google coordinate preview, address search, and an AMap link for China.
  • Hot-reloads a custom blacklist and preserves evidence/source attribution.
  • Supports resumable initial imports, daily country rotation, quality gates, and storage limits.

🧭 Address Sources and Field Provenance

The default synchronized pool uses the following source family for each country. Live providers may be used only when the corresponding mode and credential are enabled; they do not replace the default offline pool.

None for ordinary records means the street-level address fields are not invented; an apartment record can still receive a synthetic indoor field when the source has no official unit.

Real and synthetic fields

Field Provenance
Country, region, city, district, and street Source-backed and normalized from the address record; missing administrative labels may be filled from the local catalog.
House number Source-backed for non-China countries. China intentionally replaces it with a deterministic test number.
Postcode Uses a valid source postcode when available; invalid or missing values may be filled from the nearest catalog entry.
Coordinates Copied from the source geometry. Depending on the source, this may be an address point, building point, or the centroid of an OSM way.
Building or community Uses a source value when present. For China, a nearby named OSM residential community is preferred; the bundled lexicon is only the no-coverage fallback.
Apartment, building, unit, and room Keeps official/source-tagged values when present. Missing indoor details may be generated for China and apartment records in other countries.
Name, phone, email, employment, finance, network, and sandbox card Synthetic test data.

China therefore means real administrative and road context plus a source coordinate, with a synthetic house number and possible synthetic indoor details. The other countries keep source house numbers, while missing apartment/unit details may still be generated. verified means that source evidence and project quality checks passed; it does not mean that the address is current, occupied, or deliverable.

Google Maps and AMap behavior

  • Google coordinate preview opens latitude,longitude from the source geometry. It is a location preview, not a Google delivery or occupancy certificate.
  • Google address search uses only the address skeleton. Synthetic China house numbers, community names, and indoor units are excluded from that query; non-China searches use source-backed house number, street, locality, region, and postcode.
  • AMap is generated only for China. The source WGS-84 coordinate is converted to GCJ-02 before opening the AMap marker URL.
  • A map pin may represent an address point, building centroid, or way centroid rather than an entrance or room. The default generation path does not claim that a Google Geocoding result has independently verified every record.

⚡ Quick start

Node.js 24 or newer is required.

git clone https://github.com/daimon3332/address.git
cd address
cp .env.example .env
npm ci
npm run db:migrate
npm run dev

A new database contains schema only. Run npm run data:address-pool:bootstrap for the resumable 27-country import. See the deployment guide before running a production VPS.

🔑 Configuration summary

Offline generation and data synchronization need no third-party API key. AMap, Geoapify, Youdao, and OneMap credentials enable optional live-provider features; SYNC_ADMIN_TOKEN protects VPS synchronization control. Put real values only in ignored .env, .deploy.env, or /root/address/runtime/address.env files. Never add credentials to source, browser code, screenshots, issues, or CI logs.

💾 Database size

Measured after all 27 countries were synchronized on 2026-07-23 at commit 084805e:

Item Measured size
address.sqlite 6.90 GiB
Complete data/ directory 7.89 GiB
Initial-import peak About 11.2 GiB

Actual size varies with upstream releases and WAL activity. A production application volume of at least 60 GiB is recommended for synchronization, backups, and recovery space.
