1  The "length" column lists the maximum allowable length. Any data over this length will be truncated.
2  When supplying an address, please keep the following guidelines in mind: · The Street element consists of:
  • House Number – always required.
  • Pre-direction – optional. If used, should be N, S, E, W, NW, SW, NE, or SE
  • Street Name – always required. The name of the street (e.g., Main)
  • Street Suffix – type of street (e.g., ST, RD, AVE, etc. Click here for a list of USPS approved suffixes).
  • Post-Direction – optional. If used, should be N, S, E, W, NW, SW, NE or SE
  • If the county is known, it should be supplied.
3   When at least one of the products for the order is an AVM, then supplying values for these optional elements may dramatically increase hit rates. The PurchApprValue and PurchApprDate will be used as the seed value for the AVM – therefore, if the property is not on file with the online data provider, the seed value will be used to calculate a value based on trends in the area referred to by the Zip element.
4   After placing an order, an ElsProduct element may contain a MultipleProps element that lists one or more properties that match the address supplied. In order for the product to be completed, you must select one of the properties and re-submit the order for processing. The multiplePropID attribute is used to identify which property should be used to complete the product. This will only occur if the allowMultiples attribute is set to Yes.
5   Credit File No is required for products that utilize a Reaccess of the CredCo out file.
