Frequently asked questions

Addressfinder leverages the official Postal Address File and Geocoded National Address File to ensure every result matches the gold standard of Australian mail. When Ceven calls the verification tool, it does not just look for a string match but checks the actual existence of the property. This means if a user enters a street number that does not exist on a specific road, the agent will flag it as invalid. This precision prevents shipping failures and ensures that tax and census data associated with the location are accurate for your reporting needs. It is the most reliable way to handle AU logistics.
Yes, although the platform is strongest in Australia and New Zealand, it supports a wide range of international territories. Ceven uses the International Address Autocomplete tool to help users in countries like Canada, France, and Germany find their addresses quickly. The agent can pull metadata for these locations, though the level of detail such as GPS precision may vary by country depending on the local data provider. For global companies, this provides a unified interface for address intake regardless of where the customer is located, reducing the friction of manual entry during the checkout process.
Autocomplete is an interactive tool used during data entry. When a user types a few letters, Ceven calls the autocomplete API to suggest a list of likely matches, which speeds up the user experience. Verification is a backend process used after the data is submitted. The agent takes the full address string and compares it against the master database to confirm it is a real, deliverable location. While autocomplete suggests, verification confirms. Using both ensures that your data is entered quickly by the user and validated rigorously by the system before it hits your database.
The Phone Verification API does more than check if a number has the right amount of digits. It performs a range check to see if the prefix is valid for the claimed country and a network check to determine the line type, such as mobile or landline. Ceven uses this to ensure that your SMS marketing campaigns only target mobile devices, saving you money on failed sends to landlines. It also identifies if a number is currently active or disconnected, which helps in cleaning up old lead lists and improving the overall health of your outbound sales pipeline.
Yes, the Email Verification API checks syntax to ensure the format is correct and then pings the domain to see if it actually exists. It can also perform a deeper check to see if the specific mailbox is active without sending a real email. Ceven integrates this into your sign up workflows so that users are prompted to fix a typo the moment they enter a wrong email address. This prevents the common issue of users signing up with fake or misspelled emails, which typically ruins conversion metrics and leads to high bounce rates in email marketing.
Yes, Addressfinder enforces rate limits based on your specific subscription tier. If a Ceven workflow attempts to verify thousands of addresses in a single burst, you may encounter a 429 Too Many Requests error. To handle this, Ceven implements a queuing system that staggers requests to stay within your plan limits. However, if you are running a massive one time cleanup of a legacy database, you should contact Addressfinder to temporarily increase your limits or upgrade your tier to ensure the workflow completes without significant delays or interruptions.
Reverse geocoding is the process of turning GPS coordinates into a readable address. In New Zealand, Ceven uses the NZ Address Reverse Geocode tool to find the nearest known addresses to a specific latitude and longitude. This is particularly useful for field service apps where a technician might mark a job as complete via a GPS pin. The agent then converts that pin into a formal address for the final invoice. The results are returned in order of distance, allowing the agent to select the most accurate match based on the proximity to the coordinate.
For New Zealand, you can use the POI Autocomplete tool to find points of interest. This allows Ceven to search for specific entities like hospitals, schools, or cafes using partial name matches. Once a point of interest is selected, the agent can pull the full metadata, including the exact address and coordinates. This is highly effective for businesses that provide services to other businesses or public institutions and need to verify the exact location of a landmark rather than just a street address, ensuring that your teams arrive at the right entrance.
