- nostromo 12y agoWe have a free API that includes IP to approximate area code, but not zip code, if that's of use to you. https://www.dailycred.com/api/info.json https://www.dailycred.com/api/info.json A few of our clients needed this, so we just made it open to everyone. It's based on GeoIP and ua-parser. http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/ http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/ https://github.com/tobie/ua-parser https://github.com/tobie/ua-parser
