4.1.3.1 US Addressing Settings
Setting |
Description |
Addressing->apiSettings->enabledUS |
When set to “false” the US addressing API is not used even when licenced. Default “true”. |
addressing->apiSettings->processing |
Only applicable for US addresses that contain both a box number and a street number. Valid values are “PreferBox” and “PreferStreet”; on output the former will place box numbers on the first address line, while the latter will instead place street numbers on the first address line. |
addressing->apiSettings->useMixed |
If this is set to "true", data is returned in mixed-case format. If this is set to "false", result data is returned in all upper case characters. |
addressing->apiSettings->useAlias |
If this is set to "true", alias street names are returned when they are used in the input. If this is set to "false", 'official' street names are returned even when alias street names are used in the input. (An alias street name is an alternative name for a street that is acceptable to the USPS. It may be a name by which a street was formerly known, a commonly-used nickname for the street, or one the community prefers to use.) |
addressing->apiSettings->noStdOnFail |
If true, the addressing engine will skip the street standardization for any lookups which were unsuccessful (lookup return was false) and may not make casing and other changes to records that are partially valid. Note that the Disable19 setting will automatically make this false when Disable19 is set to True |
addressing->apiSettings->verifyState |
If true, the addressing engine will add an additional verification step for any state which it wants to change from the input state based on where the address is delivered from as opposed to the state where the actual address is located. *setting is required to be turned off to properly qualify for local CASS Certified Processing. |
addressing->apiSettings->disable19 |
If true, all records that match against the Zip+4 data will return an AddrScore of 0 which can be ambiguous. If set to false, the addressing engine will return the AddrScore 19 which details a 'DPV NoMatch'. This setting is True by default for backwards compatability purposes and overrides the noStdOnFail setting. |
