Important! Our API only supports US zip


codes and Canadian postal codes. You must
use the appropriate endpoint for the country
you desire.

When working with CA postal codes in URLs,


you must either remove the space or URL
encode it (e.g. with a plus sign). For example,
A0A 1A0 should appear in the URL as A0A1A0
or A0A+1A0. The data for the Canadian API is
sourced from the GeoNames data sets, which
are licensed under the Creative Commons
