I’m playing with the Google Geocode too. It’s useful for certain things. It’s 
free for up to $200 worth or requests per month. That’s a lot for minor uses!

Is anyone using zipcodeapi.com  to fill in city and 
state fields in a 4D database? Would you be willing to share your code?

Thanks,

Tim, thanks. At first I did not understand, but got it now...

C_OBJECT($oResponse)
HTTP Request(HTTP GET method;$url;$content;$oResponse)

The HTTP Request command sees JSON coming in and an object for the response and 
automatically parses it in the object…. Neat. Thanks.

I had the same experience with Twilio for sending SMS from 4D. It was so easy 
to use HTTP Request when the website has a well designed API.

If the website is returning JSON, if you can just pass $oResponse instead of 
$response and 4D will do the "JSON Parse” for you automatically.

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.

John,
I've been using SmartyStreets for several years. It's very easy to connect
with and the folks who run it are extremely helpful and friendly.

I looked at the website for zicodeapi.com and notice the service is less
expensive and offers a number of APIs for working with zip codes. It's a
solid suggestion.

Actually since I am in the early stage of development any suggestions in this 
regard are welcome. I see another web based Zip Code site call SmartyStreets. 
That would work as well. 

So any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
