Address Capture consists of two main API requests:

  • A Find request is used to narrow down a possible list of addresses
  • A Retrieve request is used to retrieve a fully formatted address

A typical address search is made up of a series of Find requests, followed by a Retrieve based on the selected address id.

Also available for customers using AddressBase Premium data for UK addresses is Geolocation, which takes latitude and longitude coordinates and returns a list of addresses that are within a specified radius. This must be followed by a Retrieve to obtain a fully formatted address.
