An API that takes a zip code and returns the longitute and latitude

Utilises files found from https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html (2022 data)

Utilises YottaDB as the database and Python flask to present the API endpoint.

docker-run -p 5000:5000 -it docker.io/ramb0/api-zip

The endpoint will then be available at the address http://dockerserveraddress:5000/zip

To get the co-ordinates for example of zip 90210:

curl http://dockerserveraddress:5000/zip?zip=90210

Output:

[
  {
    "lat": "34.064956",
    "long": "-118.382981",
    "zip": "90211"
   }
