Do I need to capture billing address information?

In the example for accepting payments by credit card (link) the billing address information is not present. However, the payment appears to go through. What are the circumstances that require me to include this data?

In the classic API, the address fields are required. I can't find a field reference for REST, oddly enough. I suppose you could omit them and try a sandbox call to see if it fails, but omitting the address means no address verification (done against the zip code). It opens you up some to fraud.
