Our web services will enforce TLS 1.2 the week of January 25th, 2021.
Personator
The Melissa Address Key (MAK) is now available as an input field for processing.
Global Personator
Personator World Email TimeToWait option has been modified to 5-45s.
Global Verify
Global Verify now offers new options that allow the user additional control over the output of US or CA addresses.
USPreferredCityNames
If set to on, we will override and return only the USPS preferred city name. When set to off it will leave valid vanity city names as preferred by the USPS.
USStandardizationType
When set to Auto this uses the input as a guide for how to standardize.
When set to Short (Default) will leave the US address in short abbreviated form as preferred by the USPS.
For example Short:
100 W Main St East
For example Long:
100 West Main Street East
DetailedResults
This is for users that have experience or code using Address Object and would like to have those codes alongside the Global Address result codes.
When set to ON (For US and CA addresses only) this will return more detailed and different result codes that come from our Address Object product. When set to OFF (Default) No extra result codes will be returned.
Global Verify has a new Input field available
Last Name (US only) - This field has been added to allow the use of a Melissa proprietary database. For addresses missing a secondary like a suite or apartment, we can use the last name and append that information for residential addresses. This feature is only available for the US. 25A” then the Subpremises will be “Apt 25A” and the SubPremiseLevel will be “Floor 12”. This value is not widely used in official address data.
Global Verify Email Result Code Update
Global Verify Email offers 2 new Result Codes when processing Domains only. For example: "@gmail.com" or "gmail.com"
DV01 - Valid domain
DE03 - Invalid domain
Global Verify Phone Result Code Update
The following Global Verify Phone service Result Codes have been removed
PS09 – VOIP Line
PS13 – Toll Free Number
PS14 – Special Number
PS15 – Misc Type
PS16 – Live Status Unknown
PS17 – Live Number
PS21 – Medium Confidence
With PS21 (medium confidence) no longer being returned, only PS20 (low confidence) and PS22 (high confidence) are going to be available for determining the verification confidence on a given phone number. The records that previously returned PS21 will now return as PS22. However, PS22 is still only returned through the Premium version of the service.
The following result codes will now ONLY be available for North America using the Premium version of the Phone service:
PS07 – Cellphone
PS08 – Landline Activity
Extras option - This element is usually not populated but is reserved to be able to return less used fields if the user requests. Currently, we are using this to return some US only fields. If you specify “USExtras:ON” in the options, we can return additional outputs. A destination component will be needed for the Extra records.
