Search Requirementsโ€‹

The minimal requirement for an address to be helpful in a search is that it must contain a known country. If you provide only a city or state, we will try to complete the rest of the information.

For an address to be sufficient for a search as the single parameter, it must be a valid US address and contain a street, house number, city, and state. Please note that it is not possible to search by multiple addresses as the only parameters or to search by non-US addresses.

Raw Address Parsingโ€‹

When you donโ€™t know the breakdown of an address string to its components, donโ€™t worry. Just fill in the raw member of the address object and we will do the parsing for you.

To see the final result of the parsing, take a look at the query member of the response object. It holds the final person that we have searched for.
