DHL Ecommerce API is a capability tool that lets Third Party Vendors (TPVs) and shipping aggregators integrate their customers with DHL Ecommerce shipping solutions. This API validates addresses for correctness, standardization and verification to help businesses improve their mailing and delivery processes, reduce customer service costs and meet regulatory requirements.
The DHL Address Validation API allows software developers to efficiently integrate with websites, databases and CRMs to automate the process of identifying and correcting poor quality address data. This API uses the public data from DHL to verify postal information and returns error responses that are easy for developers to understand.
It is best to pair this address validation API with other services for enhanced results. For example, FedEx charges for their address correction service, but they restrict how you can use the corrected data. Copying and pasting the records without their consent or using them for other purposes can land you in legal trouble. Plus, the FedEx solution does not check PO box addresses or remote locations.
In contrast, Service Objects provides the best US Address Validation API with high accuracy, comprehensive coverage and customizable solutions for businesses of all sizes. Their solution also includes address standardization, which changes the format of an address to conform with the accepted US Postal Service standards. This makes it easier for businesses to communicate with customers and deliver products or services. It can also help them minimize fraud and comply with data privacy regulations.
