Is there any API to get PIN code details for Indian Pincode

I have checked below Links and APIs.All of them are out dated and do not have latest data.

  • http://www.postalpincode.in/Api-Details
  • https://pincode.net.in/194101

Seems below API is exposed by Govt sources, but there is not much on documentation part -

  • https://data.gov.in/resources/all-india-pincode-directory/api#/Resource/get_resource_6176ee09_3d56_4a3b_8115_21841576b2f6

If someone can point to the link to get latest data, this will work to.Atleast I will get started.

I tried below link and the data I got from this link is outdated.

  • https://data.gov.in/catalog/pincode-search?filters%5Bfield_catalog_reference%5D=90054&format=json&offset=0&limit=6&sort%5Bcreated%5D=desc

Indian Post would be the most reliable source of information, the other site you referred () gets data from Indian Post -

https://api.postalpincode.in/

It works fine for most of the pin-codes however the recent split of J&K doesn't seem to be updated yet.

  • https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/400005 (Mumbai)
  • https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/110006 (Delhi)
  • https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/194101 (Leh)

The government sites' data usually take much longer to get updated.
