A Python package for querying US Zipcodes, and converting to coordinates and timezones

zipcode-coordinates-tz

A Python package that enables converting a US Zip Code into a timezone. This is done through the querying of the USPS API, then joining it with the zipcode-coordinates-tz data from the US Census, and finally taking the coordinates and using timezonefinder to determine the timezone.

Dependencies:

• Geocoding Services Web Application Programming Interface (API)
• ZIP Codes by Area and District codes
• timezonefinder

API Usage:

from zipcode_coordinates_tz import census, postal, timezone

df_postal_locales = await postal.get_locales()
df_postal_locales = df_postal_locales.loc[df_postal_locales.State == "NJ"]
df_postal_locales = await census.get_coordinates(df_postal_locales)
df_postal_locales = timezone.fill_timezones(df_postal_locales, fill_missing=True)
print(df_postal_locales)

As a CLI

python -m zipcode_coordinates_tz save NJ.json --state NJ --timezones --fill
