Request Fields<br />
BatchID<br />
The following list of the fields that are either required for each request or may only be found in<br />
some requests. See descriptions.<br />
This field accepts a batch ID number which can used to match the response to the related request.<br />
MaximumSuggestions<br />
If MaximumSuggestions is 5, and there are seven possible suggestions, <strong>Address</strong> <strong>Check</strong> will return<br />
the first five in order of confidence level. If MaximumSuggestions is not set, <strong>Address</strong> <strong>Check</strong> will<br />
return all suggestions that exceed the MinConfidence number.<br />
MinConfidence<br />
Every suggestion is assigned a confidence rating that indicates the probability that the suggestion<br />
is the correct match for the submitted record. The rating can range from 0 to 1. Only exact matches<br />
receive a confidence of 1 (100% certainty of a match).<br />
Setting a minimum confidence level filters out any record that does not have a confidence rating<br />
match that level or higher.<br />
In otherwords, setting a MinConfidence of “0.75” will prevent any suggestion with a confidence<br />
lower than 0.75 from being returned.<br />
The confidence level is based on the Result codes. See the entry for the Result field on page 7for<br />
an explanation of how different results<br />
