Street Address Parser

Overview

Street Address Parser works by analyzing the US street address provided and parsing the components. It uses advanced algorithms to parse the street address and returns the parsed components such as street number, street name, city, state, and more.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/streetaddressparser?address=1600%20Amphitheatre%20Parkway%2C%20Mountain%20View%2C%20CA%2090210" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"

  headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your_api_key_here' },
});

if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);

const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/streetaddressparser?address=1600%20Amphitheatre%20Parkway%2C%20Mountain%20View%2C%20CA%2090210", nil)
	req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")

	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	out, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
	fmt.Println(string(out))
}

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

Parameters

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "address": "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 90210",
    "parsed": {
      "streetNumber": "1600",
      "streetType": "Pkwy",
      "streetAddress": "Amphitheatre",
      "cityName": "Mountain View",
      "stateName": "CA",
      "zipCode": "90210"
    }
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change. Error handling covers the full status list and which of them are worth retrying.

Start from a template

A working app built on this API, ready to deploy with your own key. Vercel asks for the key when you deploy; the code is on GitHub to change first.

Use cases

Mailing Label Printing

To prepare bulk shipping labels, fulfillment software isolates street numbers, street types, and ZIP codes from freeform buyer text.

Real Estate Ingestion

When property portals ingest raw MLS remarks, backend pipelines extract city and state abbreviations to index homes into regional search databases.

Voter Registration Intake

Separate unformatted residential entries into discrete building numbers and street names to match voter registrations against county records.

Tax Jurisdiction Lookup

Accounting platforms assign municipal sales tax rates by breaking customer billing strings into standardized city names and state codes.
