Apple Maps Server API Geocoding returns empty results for Japanese addresses with lang: 'ja-JP'
Hi, I'm using the Apple Maps Server API (/v1/geocode) to retrieve geocoding results for Japanese addresses. Until recently, requests like the one below returned correct results: GET https://maps-api.apple.com/v1/geocode?q=東京都千代田区千代田1-1&lang=ja-JP Authorization: Bearer <valid JWT> But now, the response is always: { "results": [] } However, when I use the same address with lang: en-US, it returns valid coordinates: GET https://maps-api.apple.com/v1/geocode?q=1-1 Chiyoda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo=en-US "東京都千代田区千代田1-1" is a Japanese address, and "1-1 Chiyoda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo" is the same address written in English. My Questions: Has there been a recent change to the geocoding behavior for Japanese addresses when lang: ja-JP is used? Does the lang parameter affect not only the response language but also the internal parsing logic? Is this a known issue or limitation? The access token is valid and I'm getting a 200 OK response, but results is always empty with lang: ja-JP. Thanks for your help!
