Is it possible to retrieve a list of all addresses within a certain region in Google Maps API?

Question

Say I want to retrieve a list of all addresses of Rome.

How do I achieve this programmatically in Google Maps API, or any other web service? I don't want the actual location of the addresses, just a list of the names of the addresses.

Answer 1

You cannot do that with the Google Maps API.

You can do reverse geocoding (both on the server-side or on the client-side), but with reverse geocoding you pass one coordinate and you are returned the address of that point only. The Google Maps API does not return all the addresses of a particular area.
