API's for Address Validation, Direct Mail Automation, and Mail Tracking

What is an API?

Application program interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. An API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. In the simplest terms, APIs are sets of requirements that govern how one application can talk to another.

How do APIs Work?

APIs expose some of a program’s internal functions to the outside world in a limited fashion. That makes it possible for applications to share data and take actions on one another’s behalf. APIs simplify all of this by limiting outside program access to a specific set of features—often enough, requests for data of one sort or another. For example, AccuZIP's Direct Mail RESTful API exposes Web Service CASS™ Certification, NCOA^Link® (COA), Duplicate Detection, FCM/STD Presort, Mail Tracking and Reporting and EDDM® Mailing List Creation to outside applications. Think of APIs as doors or windows. APIs clearly define exactly how a program will interact with the rest of the software world, saving time, resources and potentially nasty legal entanglements along the way. AccuZIP's APIs come with complete documentation, technical support, and training.

Who are APIs for?

We have been processing mail for about 10 or 12 years now after focusing on just printing since 1988. I must say that it has been a worthwhile addition to our business model. Our franchisor has always pitched the right vendors for their franchises and they sure knocked one out of the park with Accuzip. In those 10 or 12 years we have processed mail, not a lot, or high volume by all means, but a decent amount, we have come across some real doosies when it comes to list submission from our clients. Last year I received 3 lists from one of our better school districts that was formatted for an Avery label template in Excel, Word, and a PDF, that had to be merged together...a true mess for us, but then I called Geoff. He said he would try to make some sense of the situation. Well, he did just that. He merged those 3 disaster files, fixed the formatting issue, and saved them to a much more usable csv file. Now we were golden. Well, the same damn thing happened this year, and Geoff was there to save the day again. I had proposed to him sending us an invoice, or my issuing him a nice Starbucks Gift card, but he merely said that it was part of the superior customer service that Accuzip offers. I had mentioned this situation last year to Dave Belmonte while at our Minuteman Press convention and he had said that the Technical Support crew at Accuzip is extremely committed to their clients...as displayed by Geoff Cooke. In closing, I would like to say "Hats Off" to Geoff, Donna, and all of the technical support team at Accuzip. They are the greatest. Please accept my email as 5 Star +++++ review for Geoff and the support team at Accuzip.
