Veda Consulting have provided this free service for over 5 years. The existing infrastructure needs to be upgraded and as its a free service, there is no funding to cover the upgrade currently, therefore we are unable to take on any new clients at this time.
Please do get in touch if you wish to help fund this upgrade and get CiviPostcode up and running again: info@vedaconsulting.co.uk
This is a simple REST API created for all your UK address lookup requirements for CiviCRM, a web-based, open source, internationalized suite of computer software for constituency relationship management.
CiviPostcode provides postcode based address entry for CiviCRM. Simply enter a UK postcode and select the right address from the drop-down list. Quick, easy, accurate and completely free for many UK charities.
When a user enters an address in CiviCRM, the CiviCRM server connects to the CiviPostcode servers to retrieve the matching addresses. After the user selects the right address from the displayed list the CiviCRM address fields are filled in.
Anyone can use CiviPostcode, but you need the Postcode Address File (PAF). Royal Mail normally charges for this but many UK charities are eligible for free access. Their FAQ says:
CiviPostcode provides a method (a REST API) to access your copy of PAF in a way that works with CiviCRM. We don’t decide who can access PAF for free, but if you are eligible then you can use CiviPostcode for free. CiviPostcode is a service provided to the CiviCRM community by Veda NFP Consulting Ltd.
