Webinar recap: Ready to take your web forms from "meh" to "wow"?

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.

Smarty customers avoid USPS rate limiting
Arrow Icon
TLDR: Smarty customers won’t feel a thing from the new USPS API restrictions because Smarty doesn’t depend on USPS’s real-time APIs to do address verification. We’ve always used our own, powerful, hyper-accurate data to back our tools and support client needs. While USPS is capping its address verification service at 60 requests per hour and retiring the legacy Web Tools API on January 25, Smarty keeps verifying addresses at full speed on our own infrastructure. We ingest USPS data updates monthly and run verification internally, so USPS API changes, rate limits, or even a temporary USPS outage don’t ripple into your workflows.
Provider data accuracy: Regulatory compliance and hidden network risks

Welcome to part one of our new blog series on provider location data—an exploration into the messy, high-stakes world of healthcare compliance, address accuracy, and network adequacy. To kick things off, we sat down with Dave Medlock, founder of Maven One Health and a contributing thought leader, to discuss why clean provider data is essential for achieving peak regulatory compliance and meeting requirements with ease, thereby avoiding serious consequences if it isn’t done correctly. Here’s what he had to say about understanding CMS, state DOIs, continuous audits, rosters, data decay, messy inputs, and the future of address data itself.

When the digital world falters, our goal is simple: stay steady for our customers. At Smarty, reliability isn’t a bragging point, but rather a promise. We’ve built a platform designed to keep running even when others stop, using a vendor-agnostic, redundant infrastructure grounded in engineering best practices that weather disruptions with quiet consistency. Our customers depend on uninterrupted address data services. And, we take that trust seriously. And because we trust you, we’re offering a 42-day free trial on every product.
