Hi

I do not know if this is double post! Is this possible to get zip code or postal code form IP address? As per I googling I have some way to get longitude and latitude from IP. I would be wounder if we can find zip code from latitude and longitude or directly from the ip.

Thanks

No. IP addresses are not geographical.

IP address can (in theory at least) be located to a specific city, but it is very, very often out by 50 miles, and occasionally by hundreds.

IP addresses are allocated by ISP for the most part, so tend to be registered at the offices of the ISP. My IP has come back with a physical location in different countries before now!

After a google search I found http://iplocationtools.com/index.html[^] site which is showing it can give you the Zipcode based on the IP address.

Hope it helps :)

NOTE: I haven't try though!

Again "Berlin" for my home, 350 km away. With the short distances in Germany, that's quite a useless result. Berlin is the place where my ISP is registered.
