A business can check whether an address in Nigeria is real before they deliver, lend, or open an account. You send the address and your own reference. Run returns one result. The charge is in naira. You do not choose between a desk check and a field visit. Run does that. A company can take Delivery, Address Verification, or both. On production, a live API key for a company that includes Address Verification is issued after Run approves the company. Staging uses a test key.
Try it on staging. These five addresses return a fixed result so you can walk every outcome. Copy them from Staging samples, or from the dashboard guide.
