New CDXZip4 Function with CDXGeoData
A new function called CDXZip4 is now part of CDXZipStream and provides
address correction and USPS ZIP+4 approved formatting using our
CDXGeoData web service. Available in all versions of CDXZipStream
with a CDXGeoData API key, you can now perform address verification and
correction using U.S. Postal Service databases. Get address data in standard
format and find ZIP+4 Codes even for addresses with missing data.
The CDXZip4 function can be used by right-clicking on
any cell in your worksheet and selecting "Insert CDXZip4
Function" from the new CDXGeoData Functions drop-down menu.
Provide the input address information as either a single-line or
multiple-line address. Multiple-line input will look like this:
To gain access to this functionality you must have a
CDXGeoData API Key which is not part of the CDXZipStream license.
Tokens are used to access CDXGeoData with different levels for
each service request. This ZIP+4 address verification will
require 5 tokens per request. Any number of users can access the
CDXGeodata service with a single API key. You must update your
installations with the latest CDXZipStream demo installation to have
access to this feature.
A free CDXGeoData account comes with 1000 tokens that
can be used for evaluation, development and non-profit use. Additional
tokens can be purchased on an as-needed basis with the following pricing. The tokens are good for up
to one year. It's easy and risk-free to get started with
our free account.
