Customer Search

Enterprise SOAP API > API by Reference > Core Services > Customer Search

Customer Search

Customer Search is a jXchange service designed to allow third-party consumers to search for information existing on a service provider.

Message Flow

In jXchange, the Customer Search service uses a typical exchange of MType messages to search for consumer information existing on a service provider.

Primary Request

The consumer forwards the CustSrchRq_MType message to the service provider.

The message contains the following simple elements:

  • AddrCat
  • BrandCode
  • CustType
  • EmailAddr
  • IntnetFinInstId
  • PhoneNum
  • PostalCode
  • SrchAddr
  • SrchCity
  • State
  • TaxId

The message contains the following complex elements:

  • AcctID_CType
  • Custom_CType
  • PersonName_CType
  • SrchMsgRqHdr_CType

The message contains the following array:

  • IncXtendElemArray_AType

Primary Response

The service provider returns the CustSrchRs_MType message to the consumer.

The message contains the following complex elements:

  • Custom_CType
  • SrchMsgRsHdr_CType

The message contains the following array:

  • CustSrchRecArray_AType

Customer Search Behavior

The Customer Search service behavior is as follows.

The request provides the following filters in the request:

  • SrchAddr - The SrchType attribute supported canonical values are ~StartsWith and Contains~. The default value is ~StartsWith~.
  • SrchCity - The SrchType attribute supported canonical value is ~Exact~.
  • AddrCat - The supported canonical values are Cust, Phys, Prop, Seasonal, IRSRpt, and All. The default value is ~Cust~.

When there is more than one filter in the request, the selection is based on ~and~ rather than ~or~.

The AddrCat element is applicable, when provided in the request, when either the SrchAddr and/or SrchCity is present in the request. However, service provider ignores the AddrCat when the SrchAddr and SrchCity are not present in the request.
