The Address Validation API is a service that accepts an address, identifies the address components, and validates them.
The Address Validation API also standardizes the address for mailing and finds the best known lat/long location for it. It can help understand if an address refers to a real place. If the address does not refer to a real place, it can identify possibly wrong components, enabling users to correct them.
The Address Validation API provides many features to help you process an address, including:
Separates the address into its individual components and then provides component-level validation checks, including sub-premises (where available).
Cleanses, standardizes, and infers missing or incorrect address components.
Supplements the address with additional information, including geocode, address precision, and postal services data.
Returns a single string containing the complete address as determined by the API.
