The Explain Address Code API translates proprietary Precisely address intelligence codes into clear, structured, and human‑readable information. These codes used across global address verification, geocoding, and delivery‑quality workflows, encode rich metadata about match confidence, location precision, and deliverability. Explain Address Code API makes that intelligence accessible and easy to interpret.
The API supports decoding the following Precisely code systems:
- Global Match Code – describes the precision and confidence of an address match
- Global Location Code – identifies the type and granularity of the matched location
- Global Delivery Indicator – indicates mailability and delivery characteristics
- Forward Result Code – indicates match accuracy and which address components were matched during forward geocoding
- Reverse Result Code – indicates proximity precision and confidence quality during reverse geocoding
