Overview
Kiprio’s UK Postcode API resolves UK postcodes to locations. Auth is an API key.
Note (verified 2026-08): the API is alive — an invalid key returned HTTP 400 (parameter/key validation) rather than a 401; check the response body for the reason.
Quick Start
Lookup (replace YOUR_KEY):
curl "https://kiprio.com/v1/postcode/SE1?apiKey=YOUR_KEY"{
"postcode": "SE1",
"latitude": 51.504,
"longitude": -0.096,
"district": "Southwark"
}Authentication
- Register at kiprio.com → API key.
- Send it as the
apiKeyquery parameter.
Rate Limits & Notes
- Free tier with limits (check the docs); paid plans scale.
- Invalid keys may return 400 (verified) — inspect the body.
FAQ
Is Kiprio free? Free tier with limits; more is paid.
Why 400 instead of 401? Kiprio returns 400 for invalid key/params (verified) — check the body.
