{
  "pincodes": ["110001"]
}

Example output item:

{
  "pincode": "110001",
  "place": "Connaught Place",
  "state": "Delhi",
  "state_code": "07",
  "district": "Central Delhi",
  "district_code": "095",
  "subdistrict": "New Delhi",
  "lat": "28.6431",
  "lng": "77.2197",
  "accuracy": "4",
  "error": null
}

Usage Examples

Resolve a Single PIN Code

{
  "pincodes": ["110001"]
}

Resolve Multiple PIN Codes

{
  "pincodes": ["110001", "400001", "700001"]
}

Returns one row per place (a single PIN code can return many rows, so 3 codes yield 3 or more rows). Example row:

{
  "pincode": "110001",
  "place": "Connaught Place",
  "state": "Delhi",
  "state_code": "07",
  "district": "Central Delhi",
  "district_code": "095",
  "subdistrict": "New Delhi",
  "lat": "28.6431",
  "lng": "77.2197",
  "accuracy": "4",
  "error": null
}

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('bite-sized-insights/indian-pincode-postalcode-zip-code-to-city-state').call({
    pincodes: ['110001', '400001', '700001']
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(`${item.pincode}: ${item.place}, ${item.district}, ${item.state}`);
