To use this API, users must provide a UK postcode.
The UK Postcode API converts UK zip codes into precise geospatial coordinates (latitude and longitude).
There are different plans to suit all tastes, including a free trial for a small number of requests, but your rate is limited to avoid abuse of the service.
Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.
By converting zip codes to geospatial coordinates, the API enables your application to offer mapping, location-based search and route planning with high accuracy.
The UK Postcode API returns geospatial data, specifically latitude and longitude coordinates corresponding to the provided UK postcode. The response is structured in JSON format.
The key fields in the response data include "postcode," which indicates the input postcode, and "latitude" and "longitude," which provide the precise geospatial coordinates.
The response data is organized in a JSON object containing a "status" field indicating the success of the request and an "output" array that includes the postcode and its corresponding coordinates.
The endpoint provides information on the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) for any valid UK postcode, enabling applications to utilize this data for mapping and location services.
Users can customize their requests by specifying different UK postcodes in the API call. Each request will return the coordinates for the provided postcode.
The data is sourced from official postal services and geospatial databases, ensuring high accuracy and reliability for the coordinates returned by the API.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from postal authorities and geospatial data providers, along with quality checks to ensure the correctness of the coordinates.
Typical use cases include optimizing delivery routes, enhancing location-based searches, supporting real estate applications, and assisting emergency services with accurate location data.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
