API – Verify Customer Addresses
General
LoanPro is integrated with tools that can verify with the postal service that an address is real. Our main article on USPS Address Verify & Validate explains how these tools work and how to use them in the UI. This article explains how to verify addresses through the API.
To verify customer addresses, send a POST request to a URL formatted as follows:
https://loanpro.simnang.com/api/public/api/1/odata.svc/Customers(<id>)/Autopal.VerifyAddress()?$select=<addressType>
- “<id>” – Customer ID
- “<addressType>” – Either MailAddress to verify mailing address or PrimaryAddress to verify primary address
This tool will tell you if an address is real or fake, but it can't necessarily tell you if your customer actually lives there. It's a valuable tool for detecting fraud (or just simple typos), but it's not a silver bullet.
