Address parsing

Address parsing

Geocodio can parse and standardize your US, Canadian, Mexican, and UK address data.

Whenever you submit an address to Geocodio, we will parse the address into its component parts. This can be helpful if you're working with a dataset with data from multiple sources, or one that has user-inputted data.

For example, if you submit "1401 Frontage Rd, Scottsbluff, NE 69361", we will put the street address, city, state, and postal code in separate columns.

Address parsing and standardization is automatically included with all forward geocoding (i.e. address-based) lookups.

If you require address verification, we support this through the USPS zip4 data append in the US.

UK Addresses

UK addresses are parsed a bit differently, since there's no state-equivalent field and postcodes are alphanumeric rather than numeric. For example, if you submit "10 Downing Street, London, SW1A 2AA", we'll return the street, house number, city, county, postcode, and country (returned as "GB"). Note that the city returned is the town used for mail delivery, which can occasionally differ from the town someone living there would actually name.
