Introduction

This is a Python library to request information from the PostcodeApi.nu API. This API allows you to search for Dutch addresses using zipcodes.

For more information about this API, please visit http://postcodeapi.nu

This library supports only the v3 (default) and the v2 of the Postcode API.

Installation

PyPI

pip install pyPostcode

Manually

pyPostcode consists of a single file (pyPostcode.py) that you can put in your python search path or in site-packages (or dist-packages depending on the platform) You can also simply run it by putting it in the same directory as you main script file or start a python interpreter in the same directory. pyPostcode works with Python 2.7.x and 3.5.x (you're welcome to test other versions)

API-key

The API can only be used when you have your own API-key. You can request this key by visiting: http://www.postcodeapi.nu/#pakketten

Example

Basic usage
