You can look up any Mexican ZIP code and get back the corresponding geographic details. It requires no authentication, making it very easy to integrate into any project.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found The ZIP code does not exist in the database
Verify the ZIP code is exactly 5 digits and is a valid Mexican postal code; some new codes may not be indexed yet
Empty results array The query returned no matches
Check that you are using the correct parameter name zip_code and that the value is a string of digits
Connection timeout The free API server may be under load
Add retry logic with exponential backoff; consider caching results locally since postal code data rarely changes
