      description: 'To send one (and only one) input to the API, simply encode the field names from the table below along with their corresponding values as query string parameters in the URL of your request. Here''s an example that uses the city, state, and zipcode fields:

        ```bash

        curl -v ''https://us-zipcode.api.smarty.com/lookup?

        auth-id=YOUR+AUTH-ID+HERE&

        state=CA&

        zipcode=94035''

        ```

        Please note that all query string parameter values must be url-encoded (spaces become + or %20, for example) to ensure that the data is transferred correctly. A common mistake we see is a non-encoded pound sign (#) like in an apartment number (# 409). This character, when properly encoded in a URL, becomes %23. When not encoded this character functions as the fragment identifier, which is ignored by our API servers.'
