Address Processing

Overview

Our ongoing research has led us to develop several address processing services. These services provide the ability to both identify the individual attributes of an address as well as validate that an address exists. These tasks play an important role in improving and identifying the quality of the most common form of raw input data describing the location of something that researchers typically encounter, the postal address.

Available free services

Address Parsing / Address Normalization
Parse and normalize postal street addresses
Address Validation
Validate a postal address and/or determine its area of uncertainty

Usage Fees and Rules

Our services are provided free of charge in allotments of 2500 transactions. All we ask is that you cite us in your work and/or add a link to us on your website.

Details of our usage policy including how to obtain additional credits and non-throttled access to our services are available on this page. Please contact us if you need more information.
