Code Samples
You can use any programming language you want with our API, as long as it can make a REST or SOAP call. Here are examples for some of the most common platforms.
C#
// https://pav3.esendex.us/PavService.svc?wsdl was added as a Service Reference and given the name WSDL
using System;
using WSDL;
var config = PavServiceClient.EndpointConfiguration.pavws_secure;
var client = new PavServiceClient(config);
var fips = "51550";
var licenseKey = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY";
var response = await client.GetZipCodesForFipsAsync(fips, licenseKey);
var returnCodeDescription = response.ReturnCode switch
{
0 => "Success",
1 => "Invalid input",
2 => "Invalid license key",
3 => "Returned 0 ZIP Codes (no matches)",
4 => "Outside of latitude/longitude range",
_ => "Unknown return code"
};
Console.WriteLine($"Return Code: {response.ReturnCode} - {returnCodeDescription}");
if (response.ZipCodes is not null)
{
foreach (var zip in response.ZipCodes)
{
Console.WriteLine($"ZIP Code: {zip}");
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
