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. Choose a service below to find out how to use each request.

Find

Retrieve

Geolocation (UK AddressBase data only)
