DIGIPIN API
India Post’s 10-character digital address, from any GPS point.
What the DIGIPIN API does
The DIGIPIN API converts between map coordinates and India Post’s DIGIPIN, the 10-character code for a roughly 4 m × 4 m square anywhere in India. Send latitude and longitude to get the DIGIPIN, or a DIGIPIN to get its location; either way you also get the nearest post office and its pincode.
