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 WSDL;

var config = PavServiceClient.EndpointConfiguration.pavws_secure;
var client = new PavServiceClient(config);
var zipCode = "02861";
var licenseKey = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY";
var response = await client.GetCityNamesForZipCodeAsync(zipCode, licenseKey);

var returnCodeDescription = response.ReturnCode switch
{
    0 => "Success",
    1 => "Invalid input",
    2 => "Invalid license key",
    3 => "No match",
    _ => "Unknown return code"
};

Console.WriteLine($"Return Code: {response.ReturnCode} - {returnCodeDescription}");

if (response.CityNames is not null)
{
    foreach (var city in response.CityNames)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"City Name: {city.Name}");
    }
}

Console.ReadLine();

JavaScript

const params = new URLSearchParams({
    'ZipCode': '02861',

});

const url = 'https://pav3.esendex.us/PavService.svc/GetCityNamesForZipCode?' + params.toString();

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

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

console.log(json);
