Invalid address input returned by findTransactions() though TX is avail on thetangle.org

Question

If I submit my address

ZOWKEWUCNRDICY9DWEPWGYCUZBZIFHR9MFK9ECSEDDTWNHVQYYHH9YMTVFODAWEEMNLURHCTXDXPGIVADBCXR9OOCZ

at https://thetangle.org/ I get all the details for TXs on this address.

However, if I submit an API request against my fully synced Full Node, the response is "Invalid address input".

curl http://localhost:14265 \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'X-IOTA-API-Version: 1' \
  -d '{"command": "findTransactions", "addresses": ["ZOWKEWUCNRDICY9DWEPWGYCUZBZIFHR9MFK9ECSEDDTWNHVQYYHH9YMTVFODAWEEMNLURHCTXDXPGIVADBCXR9OOCZ"]}'

The address has not been created / used prior to a different snapshot. It's a current address at the time of this writing.

How does The Tangle get the details? Do they have access to some sort of private API? Is there anything wrong with how I submit the API call?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Found the problem myself. Addresses must be 81 in length. The address above has a length of 90 because it includes the checksum. The Tangle obviously is clever enough to strip the last 9 digits.
