SmartyStreets Address Verification API Integration

Provides integration with the SmartyStreets.com LiveAddress API. This module includes the following features:

• Registers the "liveaddress" Javascript library with drupal using hook_library()
• Provides an admin form to enter SmartyStreets.com secret auth token
• Optionally logs requests and responses from SmartyStreets.com server in the watchdog log
• Provides a function smartystreets_liveaddress_api_call($location) to invoke the address verification API on a location string
• Provides a function smartystreets_generate_hash($result_obj) to generate an MD5 hash based on a verified address

Usage examples:

// Verify my address
$result = smartystreets_liveaddress_api_call('123 Main Street, Sacramento, CA');

// Generate a hash
$hash = smartystreets_generate_hash($result[0]);

Why is there a method for generating a hash?

If you are validating addresses and storing them, this hash serves as a unique lookup key for every validated address. This will help you as a developer to prevent duplicate addresses from being stored in your database.
