R utilities to leverage the USPS APIs for verifying addresses

addressr's Issues

usage in Readme no longer functions

Thanks for the package! This seems to be the best one out there still.

The readme basic usage no longer works:

> library("data.table")
> library("addressr")
> address_fl <- system.file("extdata", "wedding-addresses.csv", package = "addressr")
> addresses  <- fread(address_fl)
> prepareAddress(username, addresses, address_column = 'Address', max_tries = 3L)
No 'id' column supplied, creating one...
Geocoding address string...
Error: Google now requires an API key.
       See ?register_google for details.

validateAddress() throws data.table error

This is my main use case. Although supplied, the error claims in doesn't have "id".

City <- 'Clearwater'
State <- 'FL'
Address2 <- '3044 Oak Hill Road'
Address1 <- "33759"
Zip4 <- "1319"

address_dt <- data.table("id" = "1", Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip5, Zip4)
address_df <- data.frame("id" = "1", Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip5, Zip4)

addressr::validateAddress(username, address_dt)
Error in colnamesInt(x, neworder, check_dups = FALSE) :
argument specifying columns specify non existing column(s): cols[1]='id'
In addition: Warning message:
In data.table::set(item_dt, i = NULL, j = "id", value = id) :
Column 'id' does not exist to remove
addressr::validateAddress(username, address_df)
Error in [.data.frame(address, , :=((atags), lapply(.SD, function(x) { :
