<p>Methods and systems consistent with the principles of the present invention provide for application programming interfaces (hereinafter 'APIs') that receive and process multinational address information. A user can access an API for a particular country. The API provides to the user a number of fields that represent address elements. Address elements are the smallest building blocks for an address and are coded whereby each address element receives a particular code. The user completes the fields with the address information. The system receives this information and examines the address information for completeness. Once the address information is complete, the information can then be output, i.e., to store in a database, to a printer to print out an address label, or address lists.</p> |
