Ideal Postcodes + Memtro

Ask for every address at a UK postcode, or check a messy address against real ones.

Connect Ideal Postcodes with an API key and Memtro reads UK addresses: every address at a postcode with organisation, UPRN and coordinates, a free-text address search, the current address for a Royal Mail UDPRN, and the closest real match for a messy address with a confidence score. Each lookup that returns data spends one credit; one that finds nothing is free, and results are cached for a day. It reads on demand and there is no hourly sync. Nothing is written to Ideal Postcodes.

What you can do with Ideal Postcodes in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Ideal Postcodes tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

  1. 01Every address at one UK postcode, with organisation, UPRN and coordinates, for one credit
  2. 02Free-text address search, narrowed to a postcode or post town, one credit when anything is found
  3. 03The current full address for a Royal Mail UDPRN, to check a stored address is still valid
  4. 04A messy address matched to the closest real one, with a confidence score and how each part matched
  5. 05Whether the key can be used right now, which costs no credit
  6. 06Lookups that find nothing are free, and results are cached for a day so nothing is bought twice
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Ideal Postcodes is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Ideal Postcodes + Memtro
  • List every address at postcode LS1 4AP

  • Find the full address for 12 Mill Lane, Harrogate

  • Is the Brightwave Ltd billing address on file still a real address?

  • What is the current address for UDPRN 25962203?

  • Can the Ideal Postcodes key still be used, or are we out of credits?

01

Fixing a delivery address

Support gets a returned parcel for Acme with the address typed as one messy line. Memtro matches it to the closest real address, spending one credit, and gives the corrected premise, street, town and postcode with a confidence of 0.94.

02

Checking before a lookup

The office manager asks whether address lookups still work before checking a new supplier address for Northwind. Memtro checks the key at no cost, confirms it can be used, then looks up the one postcode she gives it.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Ideal Postcodes most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Ideal Postcodes is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Ideal Postcodes?+

Not yet. Today every Ideal Postcodes tool reads, searches or lists. When the connector gains actions, each is marked, granted by name per team and used only when a person asks for exactly that, so nothing is created, sent, updated or deleted until you say so.

Who can use a Ideal Postcodes connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Ideal Postcodes data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Ideal Postcodes?+

API key. Sign in at ideal-postcodes.co.uk and copy the API key from the Dashboard; it begins ak_, and a management key is not needed.
