Smarty Streets and address verfication
May 12, 2014, 09:39:55 pm
I have been looking into using the Smarty Streets service (www.smartystreets.com) to normalize our addresses. I know CCRM uses the USPS service but is has anyone thought of using Smarty Streets, which is a commercial service?

It would be good to have some alternatives to USPS since there are significant restrictions on using that service. Haven't heard of anyone building out an integration to Smarty Streets yet however.

Given that they seem to offer free services to 501c3 orgs and startups with under $10K monthly revenue, this could be a fairly good option. With a REST API, it doesn't seem like it would be a stretch to integrate either.

I would also like to have this feature, we have been using Smarty Streets for other projects for about 4 years, and we would like to integrate with CiviCRM
Has anyone developed this yet?

Tyrell Cook of AGH Strategies presented an integration at the User Summit Showcase yesterday. Here's the code: https://github.com/relldoesphp/com.aghstrategies.smartystreets.

It says it's only compatible with 4.2.....wonder if it would work with 4.5?

4.2 is the default version that the civix code generator puts in the info.xml of a new extension. The name and description fields are also still set to the default FIXME values. He probably accepted the defaults to just get on with the development and never went back to update them. I suspect this will work just fine on 4.2 and greater, as most of the magic happens in JavaScript.

THAT SAID:
  • I did not write this extension
  • I have not reviewed the code
  • You should try it on a sandbox site first
  • You should encourage Tyrell (his email address is in the extension manifest) to make an official release

Is there a link to his presentation?

Unfortunately, we are still on 4.1.5 so this won't help but would like to explore it

I tried it on 4.5.9 and it DOES NOT work. The menu option to set up the api does not work.

@FrTommy I don't think 4.5.9 has been released yet.  Were you trying this on a 4.5 beta version?

I downloaded the 'master' branch zip file from github and can confirm that it needs some work to be 4.5 compatible (Tyrell has updated the info.xml file indicating compatibility up to 4.4 - but haven't verified that). You might want to post an 'issue' on the github repo asking about plans for 4.5 compatibility - and potentially offer to help w/ sponsorship, testing, etc.
