How to use Zipcodebase API
To use Zipcodebase crawling API, you need to create an account on Zipcodebase and obtain an api token key.
You can simply navigate to the sign up page and create a new free account.
Once you have created your account, Zipcodebase will send an email to your account to verify your address. Once your email address is verified, Zipcodebase will generate an API key for you. Make sure that you don’t share it with unauthorized users.
Let’s call a simple API to observe how it works. Here is a CURL command to lookup my zip code where I stay in Mumbai, India.
-H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY"
Once you hit the request, Zipcodebase will lookup the zip code in the database and return you the data instantly. Simple as that.
Integrating with Node.js
Here is a sample code to Integrate Zipcodebase API with Node.js.
Create a new Node project.
Install the Axios node module.
Replace the apikey variable with your own API key.
const params = {
codes: '400008,400003',
apikey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
}
axios.get('https://app.zipcodebase.com/api/v1/search', {params})
.then(response => {
const apiResponse = response.data;
console.log(apiResponse);
}).catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
Save the file and name it app.js. Run the code using the following command.
You should see the following output in the terminal.
Awesome. We made the integration in a minute. This is how easy it is to use Zipcodebase address lookup API.
This is just a tip of the iceberg, Zipcodebase provides lots of useful information related to their API’s in the documentation page.
