Ziptastic

About Ziptastic

Ziptastic API is a service that returns the country, state, and city corresponding to a supplied zip code. It is accessed by making a request to the API endpoint with a zip code appended to the URL, with an optional JSDONP-style callback parameter for the response.

The API was originally created by Thomas Schultz and later rewritten in PHP using the Slim framework by Josh Strange, who hosts the current version. It is suited for developers who need a simple lookup service to convert zip codes into geographic location data.
