A dedicated postal code lookup endpoint
Postal code lookup now has its own dedicated endpoint, separate from general geocoding, with its own documentation and request parameters.
Improved coverage for rural and low-density postal codes
Postal code coverage has improved specifically in rural and low-density areas, where postal boundaries tend to be harder to map accurately.
Combine postcode and country for faster lookups
When you already have a clean postal code and country, skip free-text parsing entirely and go straight to the postcode endpoint for a more direct match.

Postal code lookup coverage now extends to more countries than before, widening the reach of the postal code endpoint for a broader set of applications.
Batch resolve postal codes for a customer list
Resolve every postal code in a customer export in one batch request, instead of looking up each row individually one at a time.
Validate a postal code before you save it
Confirm a postal code actually resolves to a real place before it goes into your database, using a single lookup against the right country code.
Look up the postal code for a partial address
Get the postal code back from an address that is missing one, using the same forward geocoding call you already have in your checkout or signup form.
