    A postal code by itself does not usually determine an address (there are a few exceptions), but it is the usually the other way around, i.e. you start with an address then get its postal code back from the API. – Tim Biegeleisen Aug 06 '18 at 06:31
  • Most apps in Singapore have this feature, based on the postal code to get the address, they can correspond to a specific street or community. – zhu.px Aug 06 '18 at 06:36

    Aha! Now your question makes sense. So this may work in Singapore, but not necessarily in other places. In the US, for example, the 5 digit ZIP code can cover a large area, and even 5 ZIP + 4 at the end might not mean just one address. – Tim Biegeleisen Aug 06 '18 at 06:38
  • you can check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3641304/get-latitude-and-longitude-using-zipcode Hope it works for you – Neha Chauhan Aug 06 '18 at 06:45

Try this API for fetching address based on pincode.

Like others pointed out, in some cases there is a one to one correspondence between an address and a post code, like in Singapore where you can use geocode.xyz to convert between them: https://geocode.xyz/508260?region=SG

For USA, you need a zip+4 postal code, for example: https://geocoder.ca/10005-1971?geoit=xml 

<standard>
<stnumber>4</stnumber>
<staddress>Wall St</staddress>
<city>New York</city>
<prov>NY</prov>
<postal>10005-1971</postal>
<confidence>0.5</confidence>
</standard>
