What is a ZIP Code API?
A ZIP code API is an application programming interface that allows developers to access and integrate ZIP code data such as ZIP+4, Geodata (latitude & lontitude), city, state and county associated with the ZIP code into their applications or systems. This type of API can provide various functionalities related to ZIP codes, such as:
Lookup Services: It can offer ZIP code lookup services, where you input an address, city, or state, and the API returns the corresponding ZIP code.
Reverse Lookup: This involves inputting a ZIP code to get information about the area it covers, such as city, state, county, or even country in some cases.
Validation: The API can validate addresses by checking if the ZIP code matches the city and state provided.
Demographic Information: Some APIs provide demographic information related to a ZIP code area, like population, median income, or age distribution.
Geolocation Services: They can offer geolocation data for a ZIP code, including latitude and longitude coordinates.
Distance Calculation: These APIs may also calculate the distance between two ZIP codes.
