locate places on google map using PIN code number in INDIA

I'm trying to locate places on google map using PIN code numbers so my question is, is it possible to locate places on google map using PIN code in India?

Solution

  • you can use

    https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key={API_KEY}&components=postal_code:110011

    And if you are more interested in getting the state and district you can use

    https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/110011

    This will yield something like this , and it is free to use

    [
  {
    "Message": "Number of pincode(s) found:3",
    "Status": "Success",
    "PostOffice": [
      {
        "Name": "Nirman Bhawan",
        "Description": null,
        "BranchType": "Sub Post Office",
