Belgium - RecycleApp - GetStreets returns alls streets containing "streetname" instead of equals

[pspiesschaert]

The RecycleApp implementation for Belgium only works when a city doesn't have multiple streets with a name containing the name entered in the settings. For example the request https://api.fostplus.be/recycle-public/app/v1/streets?q=Bosstraat&zipcodes=9820-44043 returns 3 streets: "Bosstraat", "Bergbosstraat" and "Kwenenbosstraat".
As a result, for a lot of cities in Belgium the RecycleApp implementation doesn't work.
Do you have more information on the available endpoints on the API or the ways the query can be changed to be equals instead of contains?

Hm, is is quite a crappy API to implement. Because it is indeed based on all kind of in between selections. Currently the app has no way of determining this and it will also take quite a lot of time to implement this in a proper way. I will leave this ticket open, maybe there is some other dev out there in Belgium that has time to implement this in the app.

The full details of the API can be found here: https://github.com/robertraaijmakers/com.trashchecker/blob/main/trashapis.js#L544

There you can see that the current implementation is based on single responses, but as you stated, probably quite a few locations won't work due to double postal codes and streets.

Thanks for the reply. And do you have some more info on the api? Maybe i can have a look. Grtz, Pieter
