How to embed the address search SDK

Getting your SDK Key


  • To get an API key, book a meeting with us and sign the license agreement. Book a meeting by visiting here.

Build-in features

  • Use Current Location: Getting longitude/latitude from the browser and using reverse geocode to get an accurate address
  • Autocomplete address suggestions as the user types
  • Location-based autocomplete suggestion using IP-address to ensure suggestions are relevant

Embedded Implementation

Example implementation

See "Full embedded example" below for this example.

1. Embedding

Put the following element somewhere in the body element of your HTML. Replace YOUR-NAMEwith your name.

<iframe
      src="https://sdk.mealme.ai/address?api=YOUR-NAME"
      allow="geolocation"
      title="MealMe Address Search Web SDK"
      style="border: none; width: 100%; height: 350px; margin-bottom: -325px; position: relative; z-index: 100;">
</iframe>

Style can be changed, but we recommend keeping it the way it is to get the expected behavior.

2. Listening to events

To know when an address is chosen, you can add an event listener and check the event with the following code. You can add this anywhere in the body of your HTML.

<script>
  window.onmessage = (event) => {
    if (event.data.id === "mealme-address-chosen") {
      // Your code using event.data
    }
  };
</script>

Example of how data from the event can look (event.data):

{
  id: "mealme-address-chosen",
  address: {
    street_num: '100', 
    street_name: 'Centre St', 
    city: 'New York', 
    state: 'NY', 
    zipcode: '10013', 
  },
  latitude: 40.71433469999999
  longitude: -74.0015312
  name: "100 Centre St, New York, NY 10013, US"
}

⚠️ NOTE the area below the search bar is not interactable in this example, if you need it to be, see "Interactable below full example"

If you want a complete example, here is an HTML file you can use to test the complete implementation. Copy this code and place in a new file example.htmland replace YOUR-NAMEwith your name.

<html>
  <body>
    <script>
      window.onmessage = (event) => {
        if (event.data.id === "mealme-address-chosen") {
          console.log(event.data);
          document.getElementById("address").innerHTML = `Address: ${event.data.name}`;
        }
      };
    </script>
    <h2>Your content above</h2>
