Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to use the findNearByPostalCodes API using placename for the city and a state to qualify the search, I tried putting the state abbreviation in the adminCode1 parameter but that does not seem to work.

Here is my query, I'm basically trying to find the nearby postal codes next to Hopkins, MN in the US but the query returns cities in MI.

thank you in advance

Hi

This is not supported by a single call. You would need two calls, first to get lat/lng for the place name and then to get the nearby postal codes. The direct one call service is only supported for postal codes instead of place names.
