Pincode API
Resolve a 6-digit Indian pincode to the state, district and tehsil that contain it - or run it in reverse, from a coordinate to the pincode and administrative divisions around it.
Overview & Solution
Pincode is the address field customers get right most often, which makes it a reliable anchor for territory and serviceability decisions even when the rest of the address is messy. The Pincode API covers both directions through one underlying lookup: pincode → administrative divisions, and coordinate → pincode + administrative divisions.
Key Value Propositions
- Two directions, one contract - the same lookup style whether you start from a pincode or a coordinate.
- Chains into Administrative Boundary - the codes returned plug straight into the Administrative Boundary API to fetch geometry.
Industry Use Cases
1. Serviceability & Territory Checks
- Pincode-based eligibility: Decide branch, delivery or field-coverage eligibility from the pincode on a form, before a full address is even captured.
2. Address Enrichment
- Reverse pincode tagging: Attach a pincode and administrative hierarchy to a raw coordinate captured in the field, for reporting and territory rollups.
