i want specific area name provided pincode of that area

Question

I need name of an area and city I pass the postal code as a parameter.

For example I tried

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=382340&components=country:in&sensor=false

for a postal code in India.

Although this is giving multiple results with irrelevant data. I could get coordinates using the geocode API. I do not need coordinates though, just the area name corresponding to the postal code. How can I achieve this?

What exact area name would you like as an answer to your sample query? — Joachim Isaksson, Dec 26 '12 at 09:01
there is a unique region name associated with each postal code...i mean one-to-one mapping is there between name and postal code e.g 382340 is postal code for "kubernagar" area... so i want name "kubernagar" if i supply 382340 — nirmesh khandelwal, Dec 26 '12 at 11:04

Try this

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=india&components=postal_code:400003&sensor=false

This returns the correct results, which could be further trimmed to get the relevant data.

What if I want the map image of it as a link , when I type the pincode ? – Chetan Apr 06 '13 at 15:26
I mean , when you type the pincode in google maps , it has the option to get the link and it returns the iframe. – Chetan Apr 06 '13 at 15:28
This returns the *city* name, not the area, anything for that? – eozzy Jun 11 '15 at 06:56
