    In our recent webinar, we gave tips and tricks and demonstrated live coding magic.

    The essentials of Smarty's address autocomplete API

    JavaScript SDK magic made easy

    Integrating Smarty’s Address Autocomplete API using our JavaScript SDK is a breeze. Smarty also has SDKs for .NET, Android, Go, iOS, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Rust, making setting up client credentials, building functions, and handling address lookups look like child’s play.

    Customize to your heart’s content

    Smarty’s Autocomplete Pro API is your new best friend. You can easily customize everything in how your address data is presented to your user, including:

    Additional address autocomplete enhancements

    Geolocation awesomeness

    We revealed the power of geolocation, showing how to use IP addresses to make suggestions more relevant. For example, you can make autocomplete prioritize suggested addresses near the user's IP location.

    Address validation wizardry

    Dealing with secondary addresses like apartments or units? No problem! Smarty’s APIs handle it all. Combine autocomplete tools with the US Street API for even more detailed data about each address. It’s like having an address data superpower!

    Tips and tricks from the pros

    Optimize lookups

    Pro tip: use an if statement to reduce the number of lookups you spend per address. Check the length of the address input before calling the API to save on unnecessary lookups and improve efficiency.

    Handle new addresses

    Got new buildings with units not yet in the database? No sweat! Use the base address from any autocomplete tool and let users add their unit numbers manually. Combine with the US Street API for full validation.

    You finally track down an essential addition to your collector’s set of [insert item of your choice], and you're hyped to buy it until the chaos begins. The cart is hidden in a fly-out on the side, cluttered with blocky, overwhelming text. You spend way too long just trying to find the "Proceed to Checkout" button. 👎 That’s bad UI (user interface): messy, confusing design that makes navigation a chore. You make it to the checkout and start entering your info, but the site keeps rejecting your address.

    Take charge of your API usage with Smarty’s key management features
    Arrow Icon
    Ever wondered, “Where did all my lookups go?!” Without proper API management, you may burn through your lookups quicker, experience runaway code, and encounter unexpected usage. That’s why Smarty created usage by key (included in all annual plans) and limit by key (included in some plans; you can add them by contacting sales) for its APIs. Why key management mattersCommon API usage challenges (problems to solve):Unexpected spikes in lookupsDifficulty tracking specific key usageWhich keys are calling which Smarty licenseNeed for better control over API consumptionDifficulty allocating Smarty lookups across an organizationWith Smarty's key management features, you gain more control by having better visibility of your usage, eliminating the element of surprise (you know, the bad kind, like when you’re suddenly out of lookups).
