I need to programmatically find approximate postal/zip code for a given city. When I use this link:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xmladdress=vancouver,BC,Canada&components=country:CA
it brings me all location information except postal code. Is there a way to get a postal code using only city name?
I have looked around a lot. Ben is right. It is not possible to get postal codes by using only city names. You need full address. However you can get postal code of a coordinate. It requires too many api calls but if you have the coordinates of the city you can get the postal code easily.
