AV3 – GetSecondaryNumbers

Returns parsed and validated address elements along with a list of potential secondary numbers for a given input address. The operation can be leveraged in conjunction with the GetBestMatches operation to find secondary numbers for input data that has either missing or incorrect unit information. For an example workflow please see the Workflow section below.

Typical Example Workflow

1) Validate an address using the recommended GetBestMatches operation.

2) If GetBestMatches returns a DPV 3 or 4:

3	The apartment or rural route box number is not valid, although the house number or rural route is valid
4	The input record is a valid mailing address, but is missing the apartment or rural route box number

3) Get a list of potential secondary numbers using the GetSecondaryNumbers operation.

The example below helps to illustrate how GetBestMatches and GetSecondaryNumbers tie together. The input “Address” field is missing the unit information for the office building.

Input field	Value
Address	27 E Cota St
City	Santa Barbara
State	CA
PostalCode	93101
