US Extract
APIExtract valid US postal addresses from any unstructured text (including emails)
Overview
The US Extract API is a RESTful service that parses unstructured text (e.g., customer notes, emails, support tickets) to identify and extract structured US postal addresses. It uses Smarty’s address intelligence to validate and format extracted addresses, returning JSON responses with components like street, city, state, ZIP code, and confidence scores. Key endpoints include a POST endpoint for submitting text blobs and retrieving parsed results. Use cases include automating address collection from CRM data, parsing shipping info from email correspondence, and cleaning up user-submitted text to reduce manual address entry errors.
