Automatically standardize and fix address data, ensuring your database has clean, properly formatted addresses ready for mailing, analysis, or integration. ## Input To start normalizing addresses, simply fill in the input form. You can provide addresses in two ways: - Addresses - List of addresses to normalize. Each address can be a string. The tool will parse and normalize each one. - CSV File URL - Upload a CSV file containing addresses and provide the file URL. The CSV should have an 'address' column or columns for address components. - Custom Prompt - (Optional) Custom instructions for address normalization. If not provided, default normalization rules will be used. Here's what the filled-out input schema looks like: And here it is written in JSON: json { "addresses": [ "123 main st new york ny 10001", "456 oak avenue los angeles ca", "789 pine road chicago il 60601" ], "csvFileUrl": "", "customPrompt": "" } Pro Tip: Use CSV file upload for processing large batches of addresses.
