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.
pip install pyPostcode
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)
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
Get the address by using the zipcode and the house number
#!/usr/bin/python
from pyPostcode import Api
postcodeapi = Api('{YOUR_API_KEY}') # Set your own API-key
result = postcodeapi.getaddress('1011AC', 154) # use address search
print result.street, result.house_number, result.townthe following information can be gathered from the result:
- street
- house_number
- postcode
- town
- municipality
- province
- latitude
- longitude
- x (Rijksdriehoek/Trigonometrical coordinate)
- y (Rijksdriehoek/Trigonometrical coordinate)
