Normalized Property Addresses

Address Normalization

Datafiniti normalizes all street addresses in our property database. We convert common street designations to 2-3 character abbreviations. These conversions are shown below.

Property Search API Example

Let's say you want to search for the following address:

  • 3407 Pennsylvania Avenue, Austin, TX 78721

In this case, we will need to abbreviate Avenueto Datafiniti's normalization. For this example we will use the following property search API query to show how Avenuewould be abbreviated to Ave. Below is what address your would need to use in the API query. For a full list of possible value Datafiniti normalizes Possible Values for Property Fields

{
  "query":"address:\"3407 Pennsylvania Ave\" AND city:Austin AND province:TX AND postalCode:78721",
  "num_records":1
}
