SmartMover V3:Notice
SmartMover 2018 Update
Released 01/16/2018
The new version of SmartMover can now be consumed using the following endpoint:
- rcsmartmover.melissadata.net
- rcsmartmovercanada.melissadata.net
The SmartMover service has grown with two new output fields to help users keep track of whether a specific address is labeled as a residence or business by the USPS. The 2018 update includes the addition of new elements in the response structure which in effect also changes the WSDL structure. Please follow proper update procedures to prevent sudden disruption of service.
Timeline
The official SmartMover endpoint (smartmover.melissadata.net) will be updated to the new version on April 4th, 2018. The rcsmartmover endpoint will continue to be online until May 17th, 2018, after which it will be taken offline. Here is the official timeline:

Update Procedures
Clients whose web service integrations do not support WSDL changes due to the addition of new elements in the request/response structure are strongly advised to follow these update procedures:
- All applications must be re-compiled to use the Release Candidate Endpoint (rcsmartmover.melissadata.net and rcsmartmovercanada.melissadata.net) before April 4th, 2018.
- Come April 4th, we will be updating the official endpoint with version 4.0.4.48+ of SmartMover. At this time, all applications must be switched back to use the official endpoint before May 17th, 2018 when the Release Candidate Endpoint goes offline.
Client whose Web Service Integrations support structure/WSDL additions are strongly encouraged to follow this update procedure, but are not required to.
Version 4.0.4.48+ Changes
The following element has been added as part of the default response structure:
| Default Output Field |
|---|
| DeliveryIndicator |
The following element has been added as part of the response structure:
| Additional Output Field |
|---|
| StandardizedDeliveryIndicator |
In order to retrieve this new element in the response, you may enumerate the field, or the group to which it belongs in the columns request:
<Columns>StandardizedDeliveryIndicator</Columns>
Or
<Columns>GrpStandardized</Columns>
- Please Note
- This change will also affect the Canadian SmartMover endpoint (smartmovercanada.melissadata.net). However, no values will be returned for Canada. We have chosen to do this to keep the two endpoints as close to lockstep as possible.
