ZipCode Webservice
The primary purpose of this page is to provide an interface to this United States zipcode/postal DateBbase.
Current Interfaces:
SOAP/REST webservice
XMLHttpRequest Interface here
I developed the webservice to better understand how del.icio.us, Google, and Amazon to name a few, were providing "additional access" to their data,
via SOAP and RESTful interfaces. Creating what is called a "webservice".
The nusoap library was used to develop the SOAP implemtation.
The RESTful implentation is code that generates XML
The zipcode database found here at Civicspacelabs.org
Both have 5 useful functions.
SOAP methods.:
getDataByZip(), getDataByState(), getDataByCity(), getDistance(), getZipInRadius()
Download the SOAP server
RESTful: zip, state, city, distance, radius
