OS Places repository for demos and code examples

#OS Places API Demos

This repo contains working examples of how to use the Ordnance Survey Places API, a RESTful API based on OS AddressBase Premium datasets. The API returns queries to the service in either XML or JSON, and through a 'find' resource enables rapid searches of AddressBase Premium to drill down and isolate ambiguous addressing details. The 'match' resource is for more granular matching and cleansing of existing address databases. Neither features needs any database management of AddressBase Premium. 'Postcode' searches need the area and district integers as a minimum. There are JQuery examples using getJSON and examples using typeahead.js. Additionally Leaflet and Openlayers examples are provided to facilliate the Geosearch resources.

OS Places API - HTML Code example

The code example found here:-

https://labs.os.uk/public/os-data-hub-examples/os-places-api/capture-and-verify-example-find

The code does not display an 'OS map' when opened in a browser. The 'OS Places API' all work perfectly but there is no map displayed. The 'apiKey' must be changed below in order for the OS map (road_3857) to display (using the 'map' api) but if this is changed the 'OS Places API' it will not display an OS map.

var apiKey = 'oeDha1JVulFkpOA3VZQ7gq7a1UME5r8k';

In order for the 'html' file to work independently in any browser the above code requires both a 'Places' API and a 'OS Map API' both somewhere in the code. Is this intended to only to work correctly at the above url only?
