Zipcode from City name

[Adil Malik]

Hi,
I want to get a person's Zip code. I know there City name and Country. Is there any API for this?
I googled it first and all APIs that I found are for "Get City and State by Zip code" and not vice versa ..
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Not that I know of, but the Google Maps API has a geocoding service
that you can use, provided you display the obtained data in a publicly
accessible map.

A city has many zip codes, but if you geocode the city name
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=chicago&sensor=false

and then reverse geocode the obtained lat/lon
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&latlng=41.87811360,-87.62979820

then you get *some* zip code, but not necessarily the one of the
person.

Hi

The latest zipcode database for usa can be found here
http://federalgovernmentzipcodes.us/

This may be of use instead of reverse geocoding
