zipcodes's Introduction

Zipcodes

A lightweight U.S. zip-code validation package for Python (2 and 3). This package was built as zipcode provided too much functionality and relied on sqlite3, which is not available on platforms such as AWS Lambda. While more difficult to add additional zip-codes, this package provides the essential functionality of zip-code validation with fewer dependencies and minimal working logic.

Contributions are welcome!

Installation

$ pip install zipcodes

Synopsis

Below is the expected usage of this package and a demonstration of supported functionality.

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> import zipcodes

>>> # Simple zip-code matching.
>>> pprint(zipcodes.matching('77429'))
[{'zip_code': '77429',
  'zip_code_type': 'STANDARD',
  'city': 'CYPRESS',
  'state': 'TX',
  'lat': 29.96,
  'long': -95.69,
  'world_region': 'NA',
  'country': 'US',
  'active': True}]

>>> # Handles of Zip+4 zip-codes nicely. :)
>>> pprint(zipcodes.matching('77429-1145'))
[{'zip_code': '77429',
  'zip_code_type': 'STANDARD',
  'city': 'CYPRESS',
  'state': 'TX',
  'lat': 29.96,
  'long': -95.69,
  'world_region': 'NA',
  'country': 'US',
  'active': True}]

>>> # Will try to handle invalid zip-codes gracefully...
>>> print(zipcodes.matching('06463'))
[]

>>> # Until it cannot.
>>> zipcodes.matching('abc123')
