📮 Postal Code Lookup Scraper (60+ Countries)
🚀 Resolve postal codes to places, states, and coordinates worldwide. Bulk-lookup any list of country + postcode pairs across 60+ countries, with automatic outward-code normalization for the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, and more. No API key, no registration, no manual JSON wrangling.
The Postal Code Lookup Scraper queries the Zippopotam open postal index and returns 11 structured fields per record, including the country, country code, postal code, place name, state, state abbreviation, latitude, longitude, and the full list of places matched by the postcode. Multi-place postcodes can be exploded into one row per place or kept packed into a single row.
The catalog covers 60+ countries on every populated continent, from the U.S. and Canada to Japan, South Africa, Brazil, India, and most of Europe. For the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Brazil, Malta, Crown Dependencies, and Poland, the source only accepts the outward (short) form of the postcode; this Actor strips spaces and inward suffixes automatically so you can pass natural inputs like SW1A 1AA or M5V 3L9.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Address-enrichment platforms, logistics teams, sales operations, GIS engineers, customer-data platforms, fraud-prevention teams | Lead enrichment with geocodes, customer-address normalization, shipping-cost estimation, territory assignment, deliverability checks, ZIP-to-city autocomplete |
📋 What the Postal Code Lookup Scraper does
Three workflows in a single run:
- 📮 Bulk postcode resolution. Pass any list of country + postcode pairs and get place, state, and lat/lon back.
- 🇬🇧 Outward-code auto-normalize. UK, Canada, Netherlands, Brazil, Malta, Crown Dependencies, and Poland accept short-form codes; the Actor strips spaces and inward suffixes for you.
- 🔀 Explode multiple places. Many U.S. ZIPs and Spanish postcodes resolve to multiple towns. Toggle whether each place becomes its own row or all places are packed into one row.
Each record includes the ISO-2 country code, full country name, the normalized postal code, the matched place name, state name and abbreviation, latitude, longitude, and the full place array for downstream re-parsing.
💡 Why it matters: postal code resolution is the foundation of address normalization, shipping cost estimation, fraud scoring, and CRM territory assignment. Building your own pipeline means handling 60+ country formats and the special-case outward-only countries. This Actor handles all of it.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: country, countryCode, latitude, longitude, placeName, places, postCode, scrapedAt, state, stateAbbreviation. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
