POST /v1/addresses

Adds address info to user profile. List of required fields are different for different countries.

For updating personal profiles, consider using the personal profile update endpoint instead. It allows to submit the address information alongside the other profile data.

State field is required for US, CA, BR and AU addresses.

Occupations is required for CA, IN, JP and within the US for the states AZ and NM. If you serve any of these jurisdictions we recommend submitting occupation for all customers for simplicity, however if this is an issue we can discuss alternative solutions.

GET /v1/address-requirements
POST /v1/address-requirements

GET and POST address-requirements endpoints help you to figure out which fields are required to create a valid address for different countries. You could even build a dynamic user interface on top of these endpoints. This is a step-by-step guide on how these endpoints work.

  1. Call GET /v1/address-requirements to get list of fields you need to fill with values in "details" section for creating a valid address. Response contains 4 required top level fields:
  • country (select field with list of values)
  • city (text field)
  • postCode (text field)
  • firstLine (text field)
  1. Analyze the list of fields. Because refreshRequirementsOnChange for field 'country' is marked as true then this indicates that there are additional fields required depending on the selected value.

  2. Call POST /v1/address-requirements with selected country value to expose sub-fields.
    For example posting {"details": {"country" : "US"}} will also add "state" to list of fields.
    But posting {"details": {"country" : "GB"}} will not.

  3. If you choose "US" as country you will notice that "state" field also has refreshRequirementsOnChange=true. This means you would need to make another POST call to /v1/address-requirements with a specific state value.
    For example posting {"details": { "country" : "US", "state": "AZ" }} will also add "occupation" to list of fields.
    But posting {"details": { "country" : "US", "state": "AL" }} will not.

  4. So once you get to the point where you have provided values for all fields which have refreshRequirementsOnChange=true then you have complete set of fields to compose a valid request to create an address object.
