Search via street address

Introduction

Datafiniti's property data can be used to enrich, search, or verify almost any property you want. In this example we will show you how to use Datafiniti property search API to query for specific addresses.

Search using Street Address

Since street addresses can be broken down into many parts, we will query based on each individual part. You can determine your fields to search via our schema. We will query based on each part at the following address:
2815 Manor Rd, Austin, TX 78722

{
  "query": "country:US AND address:\"2815 Manor Rd\" AND city:Austin AND province:TX AND postalCode:78722",
  "num_records":1
}

🚧

Exact Matches

Notice that in the address field, we use " " for searching what exactly the address string is. This will guarantee that we are not fuzzy matching and only looking for the specific address string.

State Abbreviations

Datafiniti runs an address normalization process across our entire property database. We normalize our addresses to a 2-character abbreviation USPS standard. You can find out more about this process here.

Address normalization

Datafiniti uses our own street name normalization. Converting street to st, drive to dr, etc, you can learn more about our address normalization here: Normalized Property Addresses

Search for Unit

Sometime your property can be a condo, apartment, etc that is designated by an unit / suite number. In this example we will show how to query for the following address:
3904 Maplewood Avenue, Unit B
Austin, TX 78722

{
  "query": "address:\"3904 Maplewood Avenue, Unit B\" AND city:Austin AND province:TX AND postalCode:78722",
  "num_records":1
}

Notice that we are using the exact match to how the source of the address displays the unit name.

Unit Normalization

For any address that is an apartment/suite/unit of another building we will normalize the address ending with theses key terms. Normalized units with typically end or switch to Unit ####

Example:
2211 E Camelback Rd #301 would be normalized to 2211 E Camelback Rd Unit 301

Search for Suite Address

Sometime your property can be a condo, apartment, etc that is designated by an unit / suite number. In this example we will show how to query for the following address:
11110 Bluff Bend Dr, Austin, TX 78722,
1st Fl-Ste Suite C - E

{
  "query": "address:\"11110 Bluff Bend Dr - 1st Fl-Ste Suite C - E\" AND city:Austin AND province:TX",
  "num_records":1
}

🚧

Matching Suite/Unit Addresses

Please note that we do normalize partially the suite/unit of the address depending on the source of the data. Since this address is separated from the suite number, we stitch the two string together to form the address in the record.

You can always add any field search from our property schema.
