How to Seamlessly Integrate Bulk Address Verification and Reduce RTO with Smart Locator's API

For e-commerce and logistics platforms handling high volumes, manual address checking is not scalable. The most effective way to achieve **RTO reduction** is by integrating AI-powered verification directly into your fulfillment pipeline. This guide walks your engineering team through the steps to integrate the **Smart Locator Bulk Address Verification API**, showcasing the enterprise features that guarantee reliability.

1. The Bulk Verification Integration Flow & Setup

Our bulk job processor is designed to be **asynchronous** and **resumable**, following the **Job Submission > Status Polling > Download** model. The first step is securing your credentials:

2. Submitting a Bulk Verification Job (POST)

To begin, send a POST request to the bulk jobs endpoint with your order data. The system requires your CSV data string to strictly contain the following headers:

• ORDER ID
• CUSTOMER NAME
• CUSTOMER RAW ADDRESS

Request Payload Structure

{
  "filename": "orders_dec_9.csv",
  "totalRows": 15000,
  "csvData": "ORDER ID,CUSTOMER NAME,CUSTOMER RAW ADDRESS\n1001,Amit S,Hno 1-20, Nager, Hyd..."
}

3. Enterprise Stability: Throttling and Resume Logic

This is where Smart Locator delivers enterprise reliability, features you won't find in basic PIN code APIs. Our system handles the heavy concurrency required to talk to external services (like the Gemini AI and India Post):

Throttle Control (`MAX_CONCURRENT_CALLS`)

Our job processor automatically limits verification requests to a specific concurrency level (e.g., **10 concurrent calls at a time**). This sophisticated throttling prevents your verification job from overloading external APIs, which typically leads to rate-limiting errors and job failures.

Resumable Job Processing

If your job is interrupted (e.g., server restart, cancellation, or external API outage), the system uses **Resume Logic** to check the database for previously verified addresses (`processedOrderIds`). It **resumes verification** from the last successfully completed record, ensuring you never waste time or credits processing the same rows twice.

4. Status Polling and Receiving the Dual Output

Once the job is submitted, capture the resulting jobId and poll the status (via GET /api/bulk-jobs) until the status is **'Completed'**. You can then download the results using the following specialized parameters:

Dual Output Download Endpoints

By leveraging the dual-output classification, your integration instantly converts address errors from a fulfillment cost into a simple, actionable task for your team.
