Eirclode

A online version of the Eircode finder. Because for some reason the Irish government cannot afford a public API.

All of the data in this repository is available on finder.eircode.ie, and is public because this is just postcodes.

Querying

Other than the data present in the data/eircodes.cvs, you can use the webserver to query the Eircodes.

Content-Type: application/json

Running Locally

You can run your own instance of the service.
