## Objective

In a previous few articles we introduced the concept of High Volume Address Validation
and how to use it in different scenarios.

In this article we will take a look at a python library designed to help you get started
quickly to implement High Volume Address validation.

Lets first revisit the High Volume Address Validation articles:

- [**Use Address Validation API to process addresses at high volume**](https://developers.google.com/maps/architecture/high-volume-address-validation.md.txt)
  shows how to use high-volume validation for API testing, and for one-time and
  recurring address validation.

- [**Design Patterns of High Volume Address Validation**](https://developers.google.com/maps/architecture/design-patterns-high-volume-address-validation.md.txt)
  introduces the High Volume Address Validation library, and explores using the
  Python library in different runtime environments on Google Cloud Platform.

This page shows to get started with the High Volume Address Validation
Python library.

## Overview of the Python library

At a high level, the Python library behaves as shown below:

## Use the python library

1. Download and install the library from [Github](https://github.com/googlemaps/python-high-volume-address-validation-library)

2. Learn more about the library and how to use it in the [Readme file](https://github.com/googlemaps/python-high-volume-address-validation-library/blob/main/README.md)
