Description
The StrikeIron U.S. Address Verification Web Service uses the United States Postal Service certified technology to verify, correct and enhance any address in the U.S. with live data provided by DataFlux. This service corrects addresses, adds ZIP+4 data, gives congressional districts, carrier routes, and much more.
The Web service inspects every element of an address to ensure its validity and, using sophisticated matching and data standardization technology, updates incorrect addresses according to postal requirements. StrikeIron inspects house numbers, street directions, street names, street types, apartment numbers and P.O. boxes to ensure the accuracy of each element and standardize addresses according to postal authority rules. StrikeIron also corrects street name misspellings, validates street type extensions, standardizes city names and state names, and appends missing state abbreviations. The Web service can be invoked for a single address or as a batch process.
