Here's a step-by-step guide to using the Google Maps Geocoding API to get the latitude and longitude of an Indian pincode:

• Get an API Key: Sign up for the Google Cloud Platform, enable the Geocoding API, and get an API key.

• API Request Format: The request URL format for the Geocoding API is:

Replace PINCODE with the actual pincode you are querying and YOUR_API_KEY with your Google API key.

• Example Request: For the pincode 110001 (Connaught Place, New Delhi):

• Parse the Response: The API will return a JSON response. You need to parse this response to extract the latitude and longitude. Here’s a simple example in Python:

  1import requests 2 3def get_lat_long(pincode, api_key): 4 url = f"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address={pincode}&key={api_key}" 5 response = requests.get(url) 6 if response.status_code == 200: 7 data = response.json() 8 if data['results']: 9 location = data['results'][0]['geometry']['location'] 10 return location['lat'], location['lng'] 11 else: 12 return None, None 13 else: 14 return None, None 15 16api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY' 17pincode = '110001' 18lat, lng = get_lat_long(pincode, api_key) 19print(f"Latitude: {lat}, Longitude: {lng}")
