Data Formatting
No Data
Every response object will contain every field listed in the Schema page that the customer has paid for.
If we do not have data for a field, its value will be null
unless the field is an Array type, in which case its value will be an empty list []
.
Phone Numbers
All phone numbers will be in in E164 format with a leading +
and country code. For example, "+15558675309"
.
Currencies
Unless otherwise stated in the Schema page for a field, all currency values are in USD.
Locations
Localities
We match locations using a strict/fuzzy logic. Our goal is match as many locations as possible to our Location Data entity, linking them based on location.name
. To tap into our location matching logic, use our Location Cleaner API or retrieve possible location values using our Autocomplete API.
Addresses
We standardize addresses in the US and Canada using an internal address parser. We do not conform to any standards such as CASS, although we try to imitate them as much as possible.
Common Location Fields
We break location data into the following fields. These names are used throughout our data to refer to location information.
Field | Data Type | Description |

region | String | The region of the address |
