Addresses API introduction

The Shippo Addresses API is a suite of dedicated tools for managing addresses in your application.

Some applications of the Addresses API include the following.

  • Storing, managing, and retrieving addresses.
  • Checking addresses to ensure they are valid.
  • Parsing and importing an address from a string.

Before you begin, examples in this guide assume you have a Shippo API token. In the code examples, when you see <API_TOKEN>, replace it with your own token.

When testing and learning, we recommend using a test token.
