ZIP codes are numbers that are unique to an area and are used to expedite the delivery of mail. They were originally established as a zoning improvement plan, or "ZIP", in the late 1960s. While the precise definition of a ZIP Code has changed over time, the basic concept has not. For example, in the late 1970s, the United States Postal Service (USPS) began defining these codes for its addresses.



The ZIP Code API tries to compensate for this, although many ZIP Codes have leading zeros. A ZIP Code is not a number, but a string of digits representing a delivery area. A valid ZIP Code is composed of latitude and longitude coordinates and a list of all of its subcodes. This information is needed to validate a customer's address. In addition, the ZIP Code API is a great tool to ensure that direct mail marketing campaigns reach the correct demographics.


The USPS's API allows users to perform a variety of tasks, including appending ZIP codes to incomplete addresses. The USPS ZIP Code API has the ability to determine the distance between two zip codes. A USPS ZIP Code API also provides detailed information about any U.S. ZIP code, such as a street address, and its location. It's also possible to find the closest postal address to another ZIP code.
