How to Get the Zip Code in Python

In this tutorial, we will discuss how to get the Zip code of a particular location by using the geopy module in Python. The geopy makes it easy for Python users to locate the coordinates of the address, cities, and countries across the whole world.

For installing the Geopy module, the user can run the following command:

How to get Zip Code

We are going to follow the following steps:

Step 1: Import the geopy module
Step 2: Initialize the Nominatim API for getting the location from the input string.
Step 3: We will get the location by using a geo_locator.geocode() function.
Step 4: Get the information from the given list and parse it into the dictionary by using ray function()
Step 5: Extract the Zip data from the location instance.

Step 1: Import the geopy module

Step 2: Create the Nominatim object and initialize the Nominatim API by using the geoapiExercises parameter.

Step 3: Get the complete address by using geocode() function

place_1 = "RidgePoint Irving, Texas, USA"
location = geo_locator.geocode(place_1)
print(location)

Output:

Ridgepoint Drive, Irving, Dallas County, Texas, 75063, United States

Step 4: Get the information from the given list and parse it into the dictionary by using raw.

data_1 = location.raw
print (data_1)

Output:

{' place_id ': 209975995, ' licence ': ' Data � OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. https://osm.org/copyright ', ' osm_type ': ' way ', ' osm_id ': 567473012, ' boundingbox ': [' 32.908872 ', ' 32.9091407 ', ' -96.9887504 ', ' -96.9883353 '], ' lat ': ' 32.9088978 ', ' lon ': ' -96.9886835 ', ' display_name ':       ' Ridgepoint Drive, Irving, Dallas County, Texas, 75063, United States ', ' class ': 'highway ', ' type ': ' tertiary ', ' importance ': 0.42000000000000004}

Step 5: Extract the Zip data from the location instance.

location_data = data_1['display_name'].split()
print ("The Full Location is: ")
print (location_data)
print ("The Zip code of the location is: ", location_data[-3])

Output:

The Full Location is: 
['Ridgepoint', 'Drive,', 'Irving,', 'Dallas', 'County,', 'Texas,', '75063,', 'United', 'States']
The Zip code of the location is:  75063,

Full Implementation of the Python Code

Example -

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geo_locator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapiExercises")
place_1 = "Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, USA"
location = geo_locator.geocode(place_1)
print(location)
data_1 = location.raw
print (data_1)
location_data = data_1['display_name'].split()
print ("\nThe Full Location is: ")
print (location_data)
print ("The Zip code of the location is: ", location_data[-3])

Output:

Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, Orange County, California, 92812-9998, United States
{' place_id ': 211571693, ' licence ': ' Data � OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. https://osm.org/copyright ', ' osm_type ': ' way ', ' osm_id ': 568143583, ' boundingbox ': [' 33.8184966 ', ' 33.8200236 ', ' -117.9229381 ', ' -117.9224363 '], ' lat ': ' 33.819073 ', ' lon ': ' -117.9226168 ', ' display_name ': 'Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, Orange County, California, 92812-9998, United States ', ' class ': ' highway ', ' type ': ' secondary ', ' importance ': 0.41000000000000003}

The Full Location is: 
['Disneyland', 'Drive,', 'Anaheim,', 'Orange', 'County,', 'California,', '92812-9998,', 'United', 'States']
The Zip code of the location is:  92812-9998,

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have discussed how the user can get the zip code of the given location by using the geopy module in Python. We have also shown the example for better understanding.
