How Does the Address Verification API Work?

Integrating our Global Address Verification API into your website, eCommerce solution, CRM system or content management system (CMS) is very easy - code examples in Javascript, PHP, Java, C#, VB.NET are available below.

For each address, the Address Validation API provides

• the deliverability status
• and a correction suggestion if the address is not deliverable

Address Validation API Code Examples

<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/jquery"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    ...
    // send API request
    Locale = 'en';
    $.ajax({
        url: 'https://api.address-validator.net/api/verify',
        type: 'POST',
        data: { StreetAddress: StreetAddress,
                City: City,
                PostalCode: PostalCode,
