A self-hosted address and synthetic test-profile generator for 27 countries and regions.
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
| 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 | Keeps the source/provider registration value when present; it is not replaced by a generated China 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. China residential mode only uses communities synchronized from AMap, Baidu, or Tencent; no lexicon fallback is used. |
| 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 AreaCity-validated administrative context plus a map-provider community, registered address, and coordinate, with only indoor hierarchy synthesized. 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 coordinate preview opens
latitude,longitudefrom the source geometry. It is a location preview, not a Google delivery or occupancy certificate. - Google address search includes the real China provider address and community name, while generated building/unit/room details stay out of the query.
- 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.

cd address
cp .env.example .env
npm ci
npm run db:migrate
npm run devA 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.
Offline runtime generation does not call map providers after synchronization. Configure multiple AMap, Baidu, and Tencent keys in /admin/; they are encrypted in control.sqlite with the server-only CONFIG_MASTER_KEY. Put the master key and bootstrap password 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.
