These 2 new fields will now appear as part of the response structure by default.

Coordinate Rounding for Privacy

Starting Friday, March 14, 2020, the returned latitude and longitude coordinates will be rounded to the second decimal place in order to be sensitive to user privacy.

Please keep in mind that Melissa’s internal methodology and data sources are not changing and you can remain confident in the accuracy of the returned response.

For example

Previously returned: "Latitude":"33.651200", "Longitude":"-117.594000"

Will now return: "Latitude":"33.65", "Longitude":"-117.59"
