What are the requirements for Express Entry?
- Answer
- Express Entry consists of a web service which is accessed by your client. The client code can be any language that supports REST queries and XML responses.
- Sample code is available in C#.NET, Visual BASIC.NET, and JavaScript.
How does Express Entry work?
- Answer
- The client code forms a secure query in REST (the Web standard.) For example:
https://expressentry.melissadata.net/web/CompleteAddress?auth=[LicenseKey]&maxmatches=10&format=XML&allwords=9000+R
- This consumes (receives) the completed information via XML or JSON. Using the Visual Studio libraries, parsing XML is simple – just search for the desired node using a string and traverse the siblings (see samples).
How many keystrokes can I expect to save?
- Answer
- With Express Entry, you can expect to cut your keystrokes in half.
I found an address that is not in the system. What should I do?
- Answer
- Your code will need to support the entry of the full address if it is not found in the database.
