Interzoid Global Address Matching API - Find Matching Address Data Worldwide

API Overview

This API generates hashed similarity keys from input global address data, enabling efficient matching and sorting of global address information to identify redundancy and inconsistency across datasets.

Similarity Keys

Generates similarity keys for matching of global addresses, avoiding issues with data inconsistency and human-entered address format standards and variations.

Flexible Algorithms

Choose matching algorithms such as 'ai-medium-narrow' or 'ai-medium-wide' to suit your specific use case. A 'narrow' algorithm considers the unit designator (suite, apt, etc.) when generating similarity keys to match with, whereas a 'wide' algorithm does not.

Advanced Techniques

Utilizes artificial intelligence, machine learning, heuristics, phonetics, knowledge bases, and specialized globally-aware algorithms for accurate matching.

Global addresses generating the same similarity key are considered "similar". These keys can be used for sorting and identifying redundant addresses in a single table or file, matching based on address across datasets, or as a fuzzy search mechanism.

Algorithm & AI Model Options

narrow

Matches considering unit designators (suite, apt, etc.). Very fast but less accurate than AI options.

wide

Matches on street address only, ignoring unit designators. Very fast but less accurate than AI options.

ai-plus-narrow

AI-enhanced matching considering unit designators. Second-best in performance and accuracy.

ai-plus-wide

AI-enhanced matching on street address only. Second-best in performance and accuracy.

ai-medium-narrow

Best accuracy, considering unit designators. Recommended algorithm, but API response can take a little bit longer.

Recommended

ai-medium-wide

Best accuracy, matching on street address only. API can take a little longer but provides high-quality results.

Only one algorithm can be used as a parameter to the API at a time. Different algorithms will yield different matching results and similarity keys. Matching can occur with values whose similarity keys have been generated with the same algorithm.
