Should someone in the future be looking for a Zip Code lookup api, here is what 
I found…

https://www.zipcodeapi.com
        Includes… City, State Abbreviation, Time Zone, Daylight Savings, 
Latitude, Longitude. (US Only)
        Free limits…. 10/hour, 240/day Application registration required

https://zippopotam.us
   Includes… City, State, State Abbreviation, Latitude, Longitude (US API plus 
APIs for 47 other countries but you have to know the country to use each API)
   Free limits….   Unlimited  No registration Open Database License

https://www.zip-codes.com/zip-code-api.asp
Includes… Canadian Street Address, City, State Abbreviation, FPIS, County, 
County FPIS, Area Code,Time Zone, Daylight Savings, Latitude, Longitude… +++  
(US & Canada)
Free limits….  250/month

These are the 3 best that I found. 

Zipcodeapi.com has everything I needed except Area Code with a very generous 
free limit.
Xippotam.us was missing much of what I needed, area code/time zone/DST, but you 
cannot beet 100% free.
Zip-codes is the cat’s meow. Everything I needed and then some. The best of the 
bunch.

I ended up putting them all in my database with zip-codes the default. The end 
users can pick amongst the three.

They are all very easy to setup. If anyone needs code samples, give me a 
holler. I tempted to try my hand at my first component.
