Adrescheck Nationaal V1

Summary

Use this API to validate and enrich the Dutch address data that is entered in your webshop or CRM. Validations can be done with either combination of input: PostalCode+HouseNumber or City+Street+Housenumber. When using City+Street+HouseNumber, we use ‘approximate string matching’ also known as ‘Fuzzy search’. Therefore, typo's are allowed.
