# Pocket Network US Address Standardization

> Pocket Network US Address Standardization is a paid API for AI agents from agent.pocket.network, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Normalizes a free-text US postal address by uppercasing it, expanding abbreviations, and splitting out state and ZIP code — deterministic, rule-based, no geocoding.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability pocket-network-us-address-standardization-10d913e6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you standardize this address for me — '123 main st apt 4b, springfield, il 62701' — uppercase it, expand any abbreviations, and split out the state and ZIP?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic, rule-based USPS-style normalization of a US postal address — uppercasing, abbreviation expansion, and state/ZIP extraction — without needing geocoding, address validation against a live database, or ZIP code inference. It is ideal for preprocessing address strings before storing, printing, or mailing, and works per-request with no API key or account required, paying only in USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Missing address field in request body returns an error
- Non-US or unrecognizable address format may produce partial or unexpected normalization
- Address without a ZIP code in the input will not have a ZIP added to the output
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400-level error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC triggers an x402 payment-required response

## How this service works

Rule-based postal address normalization: uppercase a free-text US address, expand standard abbreviations and split out the state and ZIP when present (usps-basic-v1). It does not validate or geocode the address, and adds no ZIP that is not in the input. POST /v1/address with {address}. Deterministic. Pay per request in USDC; no account, no API key.

## Output

A JSON object with a data field containing the normalized, uppercased US address with standard abbreviations expanded and the state and ZIP code separated out, along with a portal metadata block including serviceId, provenance, and schema check status. No geocoding or ZIP validation is performed; only rule-based text transformation is applied.
