Integration and Export

Results are stored in the Apify dataset and can be exported to JSON, CSV, XML, or Excel. Use the Apify API to integrate ZIP code lookups into your CRM enrichment pipeline or address verification service. Connect with Google Sheets, Zapier, or Make for automated data enrichment workflows.

Cost Estimation

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing at $0.30 per 1,000 results. Looking up 100 ZIP codes costs approximately $0.03. Memory usage ranges from 256 MB to 4096 MB. Batch processing of large ZIP code lists is highly efficient due to concurrent requests.

Tips for Best Results

Enter ZIP codes as 5-digit strings including leading zeros (e.g., "01234" not "1234"). The actor supports standard 5-digit ZIP codes. For large batches, increase the maxResults limit accordingly. Use Apify schedules to periodically refresh population and demographic data, as these values can change with census updates. Combine with shipping rate actors for complete logistics intelligence.
