To perform an Address Lookup in ShareDo, you must first configure a provider. Below are the instructions for configuring Loqate as an Address Lookup provider.
Loqate comes preinstalled out of the box for ShareDo customers
Configure API Key for Loqate
You need to provide an API Key to use the Loqate Service. You can set this up from your Loqate account. If you do not already have a Loqate Account, register here.
- Login to your Loqate Account > Your Services screen > + Add a service
- From the next screen Select API Key;
- The Loqate Service will now instantly create you an API Key, (hidden behind the red tab in the next screenshot). Make sure you note this key down to be used later.
- In the Configuration Tab, you can Name the API Key
- From the Limits Tab, it is possible for you to restrict the API Key so that it can only be used when the request originates from specific URL's, or from specific IP Addresses. It is also possible to limit the key to a capped daily spend.
