There are five different obligatory parameters which have to be included in every api-request. While apiKey,name and requester are for authentication purposes, latlng is used to autoanalyse the full address.

To remove uncertainty in the autoanalysis of the address, the addressparameters can be optionally overwritten by seperatlly requesting them.
