Postcode to Suburb Mapping Australian API

This API allows users to receive suburb information via zip code.

About the API:

An Australian postcode to suburb API is a tool that allows developers to integrate postcode to suburn funcionality into their applications. Using the API, users can input a valid Australian postcode and receive information about the corresponding suburb.

What your API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

It will receive a parameter and provide you with a JSON.

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

  1. Address verification: An Australian postcode to suburb API can be used to verify that an entered address is valid and corresponds to a specific suburb. This can be particularly useful for online retailers or other businesses that rely on accurate shipping information.

  2. Regional marketing and delivery optimization: by identifying suburb, the business can use that information to market their goods or services to specific regions or target their delivery routes for more efficient operations.
  3. Emergency services: emergency services can use the postcode to suburb information to quickly identify the location of the emergency and dispatch the appropriate resources.

Postcode to Suburb Mapping Australian API FAQs

Each endpoint returns suburb-related data based on the input postcode. The "Get list of suburbs" endpoint provides suburb names, states, and geographical coordinates. The "Get list of states" endpoint returns the three-letter state codes, while the "Get by radius zip codes and suburbs" endpoint returns suburbs, postcodes, states, and distances from a specified location.

Key fields in the response data include "suburb," "state," "postcode," "latitude," "longitude," and "distance." For example, the suburb response includes the suburb name and its corresponding state, while the radius endpoint also includes distance information.

The response data is organized in JSON format, structured as an array of objects. Each object contains key-value pairs representing the suburb's details, such as suburb name, state, and geographical coordinates, making it easy to parse and utilize in applications.

The "Get list of suburbs" endpoint provides suburb names and their states, while the "Get list of states" endpoint returns state codes. The "Get by radius zip codes and suburbs" endpoint offers suburbs, postcodes, states, and distances, allowing users to gather comprehensive location data.

The primary parameter used across endpoints is the postcode. For the "Get by radius zip codes and suburbs" endpoint, users can specify a radius to filter results. This allows for targeted queries based on specific geographic needs.

The data is sourced from official Australian postal and geographic databases, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Regular updates and quality checks are implemented to maintain data integrity and reflect any changes in suburb or postcode information.

Users can utilize the returned data for various applications, such as address validation, regional marketing, and logistics optimization. For instance, businesses can analyze suburb data to tailor marketing strategies or optimize delivery routes based on suburb locations.

Typical use cases include verifying addresses for e-commerce, optimizing delivery routes for logistics companies, and assisting emergency services in locating incidents quickly. The suburb data can enhance customer experience by ensuring accurate service delivery.

General FAQs

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.

Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
