Parses an address into its individual address elements. This is purely a parsing method and it does not validate, correct or verify an address. The operation is useful for parsing street names, suites and other address fragments out of an otherwise undeliverable address. This method can also be used to parse single line addresses.

ParseAddress Inputs

Name Type Description
Address String Address line of the address to validate or an entire single line address. For example, “123 Main Street” or “123 E Main St Suite 100 Santa Barbara CA 93101”
Address2 String This line is for address information that does not contribute to the coding of an address. For example “C/O John Smith” does not help validate the address, but is still useful in delivery.
City String The city of the address. For example, “New York”.
State String The state of the address. For example, “NY”.  This does not need to be contracted, full state names will work as well.
PostalCode String The zip code of the address.
LicenseKey* String Your license key to use the service.
