I am being tasked to find a address validation engine for our company's database. The preferred method is through API feeds, and we are trying to avoid Google as it was deemed highly inaccurate for non-US address. We are looking for providers for international addresses, especially those which can give highly accurate street address with just a postal code.
Hope to hear responses soon! Thank you in advance!
Google was probably deemed "highly inaccurate" for international addresses because Google doesn't verify addresses. Google Maps will place a pin on an address where it would exist if it did exist, but doesn't mean that it does exist. (Trust me, I work at SmartyStreets.)
Only 5% of countries in the world actually support complete address verification. The accuracy level of verification varies from country to country. See: https://smartystreets.com/docs/international#countries
All the other countries just don't carry delivery-point-level data.
But you can try some services like SmartyStreets, Cdyne, Melissa Data, QAS, or Postcode Anywhere, for international "validation". Be careful, though, I've seen QAS and Postcode Anywhere give back a "valid" result when actually the address isn't valid. Some companies only use "range" or street-level data even if delivery point data is available, meaning that they assume/guess it's right, even if it's not.
I guess it depends what your needs are.

I have an application mobile developed by the flutter and Firestore dB.
I read somewhere that the app must respect the GDPR.
My Firestore content infos user (email, PhoneNumber, image,) and infos for their stores (phones, images, position...)
which data have I to encrypt to respect this GDPR and what also I have to do,
Thanks in advance
You can find most relevant information here.
The GDPR applies to:
a company or entity which processes personal data as part of the activities of one of its branches established in the EU, regardless of where the data is processed;
or
a company established outside the EU and is offering goods/services (paid or for free) or is monitoring the behaviour of individuals in the EU.
So it most likely applies to you.
The GDPR is not about encryption, it is about consent. I strongly suggest you read the whole page I linked, there is no way I could explain the GDPR in a single post here.
If in doubt, ask a local lawyer.

We are trying to build address validator and was wondering if storing the data can become obsolete or will be a maintenance task.
Adding a API would rather be long lasting. There are not many resources which are kept updated
I have checked below Links.All of them are out dated and do not have latest data.
http://www.postalpincode.in/Api-Details
https://pincode.net.in/194101
Also there is not much on documentation part -
https://data.gov.in/resources/all-india-pincode-directory/api#/Resource/get_resource_6176ee09_3d56_4a3b_8115_21841576b2f6
Anyone who is already doing it in better way then storing data to app local db.
I tried below link and the data I got from this link is outdated.
https://data.gov.in/catalog/pincode-search?filters%5Bfield_catalog_reference%5D=90054&format=json&offset=0&limit=6&sort%5Bcreated%5D=desc
https://data.gov.in/node/85839/download
Indian Post would be the most reliable source of information, the other site you referred () gets data from Indian Post -
https://api.postalpincode.in/
It works fine for most of the pin-codes however the recent split of J&K doesn't seem to be updated yet.
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/400005 (Mumbai)
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/110006 (Delhi)
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/194101 (Leh)
The government sites' data usually take much longer to get updated.
You can find the updated Indian postal or pin code information from "India Pincode with Latitude and Longitude" API.
This API provides approximately 1.6L pin codes all over India.
Can check the distance between two pin code.
Can find the distance between areas by latitude and longitude.
Can get the details of pin codes.
Nearby areas pin code.
Pin code by state.

I want to develop an iPhone app, that will enable user to track his speed and speed limit of street/road. Is there any google map API that gives us this information? if not, can anybody tell me any alternate 3rd party solution.
Thanx in advance.
I don't think such an API exists at the moment.
Now google has started providing optional speed limit data.
See Roads Web Service section at following link.
https://developers.google.com/maps/licensing
Google does now provide a Roads API, in which you can query Speed Limit data, but, according to the page found here https://developers.google.com/maps/licensing, you must acquire a Google Maps For Work License. You may not query the speed limit data for free. It looks like the Business License runs $10k per year.

What have others used when a customer wants a particular feature and they have required a signed document detailing the feature and expectations for that feature? Are there any 'engineering change forms' available to use?
We are going to move towards this with our customers to reduce confusion and meet the customer's overall expectation during the requirements process. Email communication is too disjointed and has led to miscommunication during delivery.
I'd suggest to just make it up as you go along. As you allude to, anything on paper is going to be better than what you have with email now.
As long as you include a description of the feature, the impact it will have on the schedule, a date, and a dotted line to sign on then that should be enough information.
In fact making it too long and involved will make you wish for the simplicity of just a plain email trail ;-)
