Hi,
I've a problem when looking for this postal code: 30360-400

Santa LĂșcia
Belo Horizonte - Minas Gerais
Brasil

The api call is:
http://api.geonames.org/postalCodeLookupJSON?username=demo&style=full&postalcode=30360-400&country=br&formatted=true

and returns:
{"postalcodes": []}


Trying to undersand, I called this other api (Santa LĂșcia lat and lnf from google Maps):
http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyPostalCodes?lat=-19.89&lng=-44.02&username=demo

and it only returns 30000-000 for Belo Horizonte - Minas Gerais...


Can explain what is the problem?
What I'm wrong doing?

Hi Dakar

The reason is that we do not have the full postal codes for Brazil.

Postal Code restrictions:

For Canada we have only the first letters of the full postal codes (for copyright reasons)
For Ireland we have only the first letters of the full postal codes (for copyright reasons)
For Malta we have only the first letters of the full postal codes (for copyright reasons)
The Argentina data file contains 4-digit postal codes which were replaced with a new system in 1999.
For Brazil only major postal codes are available (only the codes ending with -000 and the major code per municipality).
