I hacked up one of the first address validation services on the Internet: http://www.cedar.buffalo.edu/adserv.html http://www.cedar.buffalo.edu/adserv.html , back in 1998(?).
I've since moved on, and the backend database hasn't been updated in nearly a decade. But it works fairly well, and can take free-form addresses as input.
I'm surprised there aren't more such free services out there.
- tlack 16y agoI found this surprising also. It seems like a very common task, but for the life of me I couldn't find a service to split a human-formatted address (i.e., one <input type=text>) into its component, verified parts. Some good solutions presented in this thread though.
