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.
AddressFinder comes preinstalled out of the box for ShareDo customers.

You need to provide an API Key to use the AddressFinder Service. You set this up from your AddressFinder account. If you do not have an account, register here.
- Login to your AddressFinder Account, and from the ‘Dashboard’ screen, you should click the ‘Keys’ button on the left hand navigation.
- The platform should automatically create and present to you, your first Key/Secret, but if it doesn't, or you need an alternative, you can click the orange ‘Create a New Key and Secret’ button in the top right.
- Store this Key and Secret, you will need them to configure the Address Finder in ShareDo.
Address Finder doesn't provide any specific tools to limit the API Interaction by Domain, or IP Address, however they do encourage users to rotate their keys regularly, as part of good security hygiene.
