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 latitude = "36.761560";
var longitude = "-76.259964";
var radius = "5";
var licenseKey = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY";
var response = await client.GetZipCodesWithinDistanceAsync(latitude, longitude, radius, 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();

JavaScript

const options = {
    headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
};

const response = await fetch(url, options);
const json = await response.json();

console.log(json);

JSON Response

PHP with cURL

<?php

with httpx.Client(headers=headers) as client:
    response = client.get(url=url, params=request)

response.raise_for_status()
