GMK Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Can you make something like this for England?After a quick Google search, I found the website for Royal Mail, which I would assume would be the best place to find postcodes in England. One problem I noticed already, is that there is a limit of 12 searches per day. But you could probably use the following URL and form and edit the GUI to suit your needs.

James Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Maybe you should make different country versions Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If used in any type of business environment, you'd need to obtain the proper license from the USPS.

I wouldn't think it would be any different than just going to the website and looking up the address, which is how I had done it before. This is just a frontend, so to speak. Anyway, there are much better solutions for (larger) businesses, I'm sure.EDIT: And I'm sure not out to make a profit from this.

The terms of use on their web site explicitly says that all commercial use of their material requires written permission or a license. We use the USPS database in several of our products. We orginally thought we could do the same thing (validate online) and were told flatly by USPS that this was a direct violation of their license policy. Just don't want anybody to get into trouble.

i542 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Can you make something like this for England?Can you make something like this for Croatia? I can do signature me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Can you make something like this for Croatia?Well...it would be one thing to do it for US and England...and maybe some other English-speaking countries, but I don't even know the Croatian language. But you're welcome to gleen some ideas from my code in order to do it yourself, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
