Lockbox Address

- LockboxAddress — Lockbox Addresses are physical locations that can receive mail containing paper checks. A Lockbox Address is not itself linked to an Account; Lockbox Recipients determine where checks received at the address are deposited. Lockbox Addresses are created with a `pending` status and a null `address`. Increase generates the mailing address shortly after creation, at which point the status becomes `active`.
  - `address` object, nullable, required — The mailing address for the Lockbox Address. It will be present after Increase generates it.
    - `city` string, required — The city of the address.
    - `line1` string, required — The first line of the address.
    - `line2` string, required — The second line of the address.
    - `postal_code` string, required — The postal code of the address.
    - `state` string, required — The two-letter United States Postal Service (USPS) abbreviation for the state of the address.
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required — The [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) time at which the Lockbox Address was created.
  - `description` string, nullable, required — The description you choose for the Lockbox Address.
  - `id` string, required — The Lockbox Address identifier.
  - `idempotency_key` string, nullable, required — The idempotency key you chose for this object. This value is unique across Increase and is used to ensure that a request is only processed once. Learn more about [idempotency](https://increase.com/documentation/idempotency-keys).
  - `status` 'pending' | 'active' | 'disabled' | 'canceled', required — The status of the Lockbox Address.
  - `type` 'lockbox_address', required — A constant representing the object's type. For this resource it will always be `lockbox_address`.
