Thanks Kirk. Yes after looking through the 2 I think zipcodeapi is the better
choice. I registered my app and with a simple http request already have what I
needed….
C_TEXT($response)
C_OBJECT($oResponse)
$$zipcode:="96734"
$clientKey:=“;alks;dlfakjldflajdkl"
$url:="https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/"+$clientKey+"/info.json/"+$zipcode+"/radians”
HTTP Request(HTTP GET method;$url;$content;$response)
$oResponse:=JSON Parse($response)
$city:=$oResponse.city
$state=$oResponse.state
Didn’t think it would be that easy. Hope this post helps someone else down the
line.
