Python API

from nuts_lookup import NutsLookup

lookup = NutsLookup()
print(lookup.get_nuts_code("DE", "10115"))    # Example: 'DE300' (NUTS-3)
print(lookup.get_nuts2_code("DE", "10115"))   # Example: 'DE30'  (NUTS-2)
print(lookup.get_nuts1_code("DE", "10115"))   # Example: 'DE3'   (NUTS-1)
print(lookup.get_nuts0_code("DE", "10115"))   # Example: 'DE'    (NUTS-0)

CLI

After installation, the nuts-lookup command is available:

nuts-lookup <COUNTRY_CODE> <POSTAL_CODE> [--level 0|1|2|3]

• --level specifies the desired NUTS level (0, 1, 2, or 3). Default is 3 (NUTS-3).

Examples

nuts-lookup DE 10115           # Outputs NUTS-3 code (e.g. DE300)
nuts-lookup DE 10115 --level 2 # Outputs NUTS-2 code (e.g. DE30)
nuts-lookup DE 10115 --level 1 # Outputs NUTS-1 code (e.g. DE3)
nuts-lookup DE 10115 --level 0 # Outputs NUTS-0 code (e.g. DE)
