What do you like best about Postcoder?

The Postcoder API allows us to perform address autocomplete and lookup for our users in any country with the same code. This made it quick to set up. In addition, it gives us the address unique identifiers that we need to send to our printers for mailsorting in the United Kingdom. When we found a bug in the address autocomplete endpoint for one country, the development team fixed it right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

It would be helpful for the documentation page to have even more examples for different countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Response from Jasmine Robinson Madden of Postcoder

Thanks for your review. We're glad to hear that you found Postcoder API helpful for address autocomplete and lookup in the UK and multiple countries. We appreciate your feedback about example code in the documentation and will work on providing more examples for different countries.
