Global Address Verification API - How it Works
A globally accurate address verification api provides users with more accurate search results. This API analyzes and compares inputted addresses against known address databases to return standardized details along with DPV and RDI. It corrects addresses, inserts missing postal information and formats the address based on rules of the respective country’s post office authority. It can also help reduce fraud, eliminate waste and ensure deliverability of mail by validating or resolving an address.
There are several use cases for an API to verify addresses, including enhancing the user experience in mobile digital environments prone to typos and helping users find what they’re looking for faster. Providing more relevant search results helps businesses avoid wasted time and money. It also ensures that data lists are cleansed of duplicates and errors before they enter databases or CRM systems.
Using a validated and standardized address database, an API can automatically correct spelling mistakes, change improperly formatted information, translate to other languages and even identify missing elements that might affect searching or routing services. It can also break an address into its components to simplify the process of adding or sorting them. It can even translate between different writing systems like Latin, Cyrillic and Chinese Pinyin.
A global address validation api can also provide additional features that are helpful in many other business applications. For example, it can identify common roadway identifiers and replace them with standard abbreviations such as street and parkway. It can also add city names, provinces or states where necessary.
