Find Street With Postal Code

[Varinia Swicegood]

Inthe United States of America a zipcode is five or nine numbers that are added to a postal address to assist the sorting of mail. There are currently about 43,000 zipcode. This tool can also find the postal code of many other countries. Postal codes vary from one country to another but they are usually a group of numbers between 3 and 10 digits long. In some countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada, postal code are comprised of number and letters.

Canada Post does this in their website through their systems. I tried submitting an AJAX POST request to their servers, but after inspecting the POST request that is sent using their website, I realized that they send the postal code and other special variables.

Greg, mentions a good point, but may not be possible if you only know the postal code. On the flip side, a street can have many postal codes as well and not necessary have the same first half for all of them (think of really long streets).

You can use Curl to post a postal code to 'find an address' and get a listing of results to parse through. Make sure you pass appropriate fields to the page though (ie. hidden fields from form submission page).

Marcel is correct in his comments. By their very nature, postal codes (in most countries that I know of, at least) are bounded regions in which are usually many streets, sometimes other political boundaries, too.

I'm curious how the Canada Post website is able to magically know the street name from a single postal code. Where is the interface located (URL)? What data are you passing in, and what other variables is it sending? Posting these things will make it easier to answer your question more directly.

I work at SmartyStreets where we perform US and international address validation. From what I know, as narrow as you can get with only a postal code is maybe a city block, floor of a building, or corporation (if it's a unique/custom postal code) -- that's if you have the fully-expanded postal code (in the US, it's called ZIP+4). Canadian post might be different, though.

The .CSV file of your Customer Directory will include a column that states Postal Code, along with columns for street/city/state. I hope this helps! You can learn more about Customer Directory profiles here.

This is from your privacy statement - if the information is "our customers' data" then we should be able to view it. It says that you collect their address information on our behalf so I think we should be able to access that information.

Is it possible to get summary data of zip codes from a transaction date range? I'm not asking for specific customer names but just zip codes from credit card transactions in a certain date range that were not added as customers.

@Beerfarm hi! you can get more information with permission through an integration with GoGoGuest. We are a Square partner (find us in the Square App Marketplace under Marketing Analytics). You can read about it too here:

This seems incorrect. Am I missing something? I checked your website; it seems like a wifi landing page that collects data from customers. Not a way to unlock more data from existing Square cc processing data. Am I wrong? Would be interested in something that unlocks more data.

Hi @WhiteDuck! I see your post under @LWood 's thread as well. Just so I understand exactly what you're looking for, are you wanting customers to fill out extra information for you to have in your system? What customer information are you looking for exactly?

There are no apps that integrate with Square Online, though someone could embed a form from MailChimp, JotForm, or any other service with the embed code section to help you achieve this - if this is what you're looking for.

Basically, as we're growing it'd be extremely useful to see where our customers are coming from. We have over 20,000 customers in our database, and asking them to just respond to an email would obviously be a giant amount of work. But asking them to go to a special link where we could grab just one piece of info and have it auto-magically added to their Square profile would be amazing. Square does this already with "ASK FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS' BIRTHDAYS" - would like to do that with zips.

Hi @WhiteDuck the link that you're seeing on Mailchimp is most likely the "Customer Preference Center" this allows your subscriber to manage their preferences. Which means they can add their zip code or other pieces of info.

For transparency, GoGoGuest is a customer engagement platform and a partner of Square. Our software can collect other data like Zip Code, birthdays, preferred coffee origin / flavor profiles etc. and associating that information with Square data and eCommerce data (if you sell online too).

Bing Maps Find a Location by Address API is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Find a Location by Address API until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Find a Location by Address API until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Find a Location by Address API will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Get Geocoding API by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate Bing Maps Find a Location by Address API.

Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.

When you make a request by using one of the following URL templates, the response returns one or more Location resources that contain location information associated with the URL parameter values. The location information for each resource includes latitude and longitude coordinates, the type of location, and the geographical area that contains the location. For more information about the Location resource, see Location Data. You can also view the example URL and response values in the Examples section.

A URL appends the location data to the URL path. In the URL below, address information is specified by using URL address parameters such as addressLine, adminDistrict. and postalCode. These parameters are appended to the URL path.

For countries/regions that do not have a structured URL template, use the Unstructured URL described below or use the Find a Location by Query API which takes location well as encode other special characters information as a single query string.

For all location values, it is a best practice to encode the URI before making the request. Encoding replaces spaces with "%20" and replaces other special characters with similar encoded values. For more information, see encodeURI [JavaScript] and Uri.EscapeDataString [.NET].

When you specify location information using one of the structured URLs, do not use values that contain special characters such as a period (.), a comma (,), a colon (:), or a plus sign (+). A hyphen is acceptable as a placeholder but should not be used as part of a parameter value in a structured URL. If the location information contains any special characters use the following structured URL template or the Find a Location by Query API.

One or more Location resources are returned in the response when you make a request by using these URL templates. For more information about the Location resource, see Location Data. For more information about the common response syntax for the Bing Maps REST Services, see Common Response Description. Responses are provided for some URL examples in the following section.

These URLs support JSON (application/json) and XML (application/xml) response formats. A JSON response is provided by default unless you request XML output by setting the output (o) parameter. For more information, see Output Parameters.

The Locations resource returned for this example provides the latitude and longitude of the location and defines a geographical area (bounding box) that includes the location. The location entity type is defined as an Address and the address information that was used as input parameters is included and enhanced by adding the county (AdminDistrict2) and ZIP Code.

This example provides location information for an unstructured query for Kings Road in the United Kingdom and uses the userLocation value to prioritize the response. If you remove the userLocation parameter in this example, the results change because the userLocation position prioritizes results that are closer to this location. For more information about the userLocation parameter and other user context parameters, see User Context Parameters.

This example provides location information for Ballard in Washington state (WA) and also returns neighborhood information. Ballard is a neighborhood, but is specified as a locality in the request. Note that in the response, Ballard is defined as the neighborhood and Seattle is defined as the locality.
