pinsearch-sdk 0.1.3

search Indian postal information by PIN code, state, or district

pinsearch-sdk

A lightweight Python SDK for searching Indian Postal Index Number (PIN) code data.

pinsearch-sdk provides fast offline access to Indian postal information, including:

• PIN code lookups
• State-based searches
• District-based searches
• Office information
• Geographic coordinates (when available)

The SDK ships with a pre-indexed dataset and requires no external API or internet connection.

Installation

pip install pinsearch-sdk

or with uv:

uv add pinsearch-sdk

---

Quick Start

from pinsearch_sdk import PinSearch

client = PinSearch()

record = client.get("504273")

print(record.officename)
print(record.district)
print(record.statename)

Output:

Karjibheempur B.O
MANCHERIAL
TELANGANA

---

Lookup by PIN Code

from pinsearch_sdk import PinSearch

client = PinSearch()

record = client.get("504273")

print(record)

Returns:

PincodeData(
    circlename='Telangana Circle',
    regionname='Hyderabad Region',
    divisionname='Adilabad Division',
    officename='Karjibheempur B.O',
    pincode='504273',
    officetype='BO',
    delivery='Delivery',
    district='MANCHERIAL',
    statename='TELANGANA',
    latitude=19.335427,
    longitude=79.4928856
)

If the PIN code does not exist:

record = client.get("000000")

print(record)

None

---

Search by State

from pinsearch_sdk import PinSearch

client = PinSearch()

for office in client.by_state("TELANGANA"):
    print(office.officename)

The method returns an iterator and yields PincodeData objects lazily.

Convert to a list if needed:

results = list(client.by_state("TELANGANA"))

---

Search by District

from pinsearch_sdk import PinSearch

client = PinSearch()

for office in client.by_district("MANCHERIAL"):
    print(office.pincode)

---

Iterate Over the Entire Dataset

from pinsearch_sdk import PinSearch

client = PinSearch()

for office in client:
    print(office.pincode)

---

Data Model

Every search method returns a PincodeData object.

@dataclass
class PincodeData:
    circlename: str
    regionname: str
    divisionname: str
    officename: str
    pincode: str
    officetype: str
    delivery: str
    district: str
    statename: str
    latitude: float | None
    longitude: float | None

---

Example

from pinsearch_sdk import PinSearch

client = PinSearch()

record = client.get("504273")

print(record.officename)
print(record.latitude)
print(record.longitude)

Output:

Karjibheempur B.O
19.335427
79.4928856

Performance

• PIN code lookups are O(1)
• State searches use pre-built indexes
• District searches use pre-built indexes
• Search results are yielded lazily to reduce memory usage
