FindOutlyingAddress Inputs

NameTypeDescription
AddressStringAddress line of the address to validate.  
For example, “123 Main Street”.
Address2StringThis line is for address information that does not contribute to DPV coding an address. For example “C/O John Smith” does not help validate the address, but is still useful in delivery.
CityStringThe city of the address to validate. 
For example, “New York”.  The city isn’t required, but if one is not provided, the Zip code is required.
StateStringThe state of the address to validate.  For example, “NY”.  This does not need to be contracted, full state names will work as well.  The state isn’t required, but if one is not provided, the Zip code is required.
