Provides address standardization, zip code lookup and city/state lookup.

Syntax

USPSAddress

Remarks

This class allows an authorized user to verify and standardize a customer address, as well as look up zip codes and cities/states. To do this, call the ValidateAddress method with one of the following input combinations:

Address1, Address2, City, State and ZipCodeThis corrects errors in Address1, Address2, City, and State, including abbreviations and missing information. It also supplies the ZipCode for the given address. The address is then considered to be "standardized".
City and StateThis returns the ZipCode corresponding to the given City, and State.
ZipCodeThis returns the City and State corresponding to the given ZipCode.

To use this class, you must register with the USPS WebTools service. Please see http://www.usps.com/webtools/ for more information. Note that only authorized merchants may access this API - it is not freely available to all webtools subscribers.
