Data Quality user documentation

The /format endpoint is used to retrieve a fully formatted address by the Autocomplete, Singleline, Typedown, and Lookup search types.

Headers

Name	Type	Description
Auth-Token	string	Input your unique token here. This is required to submit an API request.
x-app-key (Optional)	string	Alternative authentication header. `Auth-Token` takes precedence.
Reference-Id (Optional)	string	Identifier that will be returned to the response to help you track the request.
Timeout-Seconds (Optional)	integer	Maximum time you are prepared to wait for a response, expressed in seconds. Acceptable values: 2-15. If a timeout occurs, an HTTP status code of 408 - Request Timeout will be returned. The default value of this setting is 15.
Add-Components (Optional)	boolean	Specifies if the response should contain the address broken down into its components. The default value of this setting is false.
Add-Metadata (Optional)	boolean	Specify whether the response should return all fields and values, in addition to the main core information. The default value of this setting is false.

Path

Name	Type	Description
global_address_key	string	Global address key of the address you want to retrieve.

Body

In the request body you can specify the layout and format you want to get the address returned in. If you do not require a custom layout, you can use the /format GET request as well.

Name		Type	Description
layouts (Optional)		collection	Collection of layout names. The default value of this setting is default which will return a predefined 7 line layout.
layout_format (Optional)		string	The format of the customized address layout. The available values are: default: Address line label and content is presented as key value pairs. address_lines: Address format to ease migration from other address validation services. The separate address lines follow the same structure as in Address Validate SOAP and Pro Web. The default value of this setting is default.

Headers

Name	Type	Description
Reference-Id (Optional)	String	Identifier that was supplied by you in the request header to help you track the request.

Body

The response from the API returns the below fields within a result object. Should an error occur, an error object is returned instead.

Name	Type	Description
global_address_key	string	The ID of the address matched as part of an address validation.
confidence	string	The confidence level of the validation result. Verified match: The input was matched to a single deliverable address in our data. This result may be slightly different from the provided address because we corrected formatting/spelling errors and added any missing address elements. Multiple matches: The input was matched to more than one deliverable address in our data. This can happen when the provided address doesn't contain enough information to return just one match. As a result, the returned addresses may or may not be deliverable addresses. Therefore, a list of suggestions containing all the matches will be returned and the user has to select the required address. Too many matches: The input was too broad and matched too many addresses in our data. The user should be further prompted to provide additional information. Interaction required: The input was matched to a single deliverable address in our data. However, user interaction is recommended as the confidence in the validity of this address is not high enough for it to be classed as a Verified match. Premises partial: The input was partially matched to a deliverable address in our data. For example, a search on "Flat A, 63 Southerton Road, London" could be matched to "63 Southerton Road, London" only. Therefore, a list of suggestions containing all the partial matches will be returned and the user has to select the required address. Street partial: The input was partially matched to a deliverable address in our data. For example, a search on "63 Southerton Road, London" could be matched to "Southerton Road, London" only. Therefore, a list of suggestions containing all the partial matches will be returned and the user has to select the required address. Verified place: The input was matched to a single deliverable address in our data but the street information is missing. This result may be slightly different from the provided address because we corrected formatting/spelling errors and added any missing address elements. Verified street: The input was matched to a single deliverable address in our data but the building information is missing. This result may be slightly different from the provided address because we corrected formatting/spelling errors and added any missing address elements. Incomplete address: The input was matched to an address in our data, but is not deliverable. This is commonly returned when searching within data that does not contain building level information. If the user selects a suggestion with this attribute set, then they should be further prompted to provide additional building level information so that the address is deliverable. Insufficient search terms: The input did not contain enough characters to provide a meaningful result. No matches: The input could not be matched to any deliverable results in our data. Therefore, address validation is not possible and the address provided by the user should be used.
address	object	The Address object comprises seven address lines representing the formatted address for a given country, each containing up to 256 characters. The first three address lines will be composed of a number of specific components relating to the premises and street. The next four lines contain the locality, province, postal code and country.
addresses_formatted	collection	Customized address layouts.
components	object	The Components object consists of all available address components. Each individual component can be added to relevant fields in your database. Components that do not contain any values for the selected address will not be returned by the API. This object is only returned when the `Add-Components` header is set to True on the request.
