After binding the OAuth secret and external access integration, configure each validation product from the app's Streamlit pages.
Your configuration is stored in EXPERIAN_DATA_VALIDATION.CONFIG.app_config and is used by both single-record validation procedures and bulk validation jobs.
Open the Configure Address Validation page to configure countries, datasets, and response detail.
The app retrieves your licensed countries and datasets from Experian. If it cannot reach the API, it shows a default list of countries as a fallback, but you may not be entitled to use every fallback option.
If your address data contains country names, abbreviations, or local aliases, use country mappings to resolve those values to the ISO3 country codes used by address validation.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Default country | The country to use when no country override is provided for single-record or bulk validation. |
| Dataset configuration | Dataset selection for countries that support more than one dataset. Countries with a single dataset are configured automatically. |
| Return components | Returns parsed address elements as structured fields. |
| Return metadata | Returns additional address metadata, such as deliverability and quality indicators. |

For bulk validation jobs, you can override the country and dataset settings on a per-row basis using the optional country_column and datasets_column parameters in CONTACT.BulkAddress.
