I have a list of UK postcodes in my dataset, and I would like to convert them to their deprivation index. This website does it http://imd-by-postcode.opendatacommunities.org/imd/2019 but I need it to be done in R, rather than manually entering 1000s postcodes individually.

Does anyone have any experience/idea of a package that does this? Many thanks

The Office for National Statistics has some lookup tables that match postcodes to various scales of outputs areas, for example: Postcode to Output Area

Hopefully you can find a common field to merge by.
