Where can I find a zipcode/addresses or country repository ? I need it in order to make some comparisons with my existing data. Is there any free or do you have any opinion how to achieve that ?
Please help me
There is a great service that has tons of free data. You can find it here:

So I have a client that wants to do a Google Ad campaign for certain locations. From what we gathered, you can set up location of interest and pass on a parameter {loc_physical_ms} that can be used to get some details based on that ID. My question is, how do I access that info? Is it by using an API? I did looked at the reference here:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting
But it is not explained how I can use that ID on my website to get something like the ZIP code and city of the click. I been looking around, but to no avail. Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, found the solution. So for anyone that may come across this, that link I have above provides you with a CSV with the latest Geo Target list. I was under the impression that Google would provide an API for us to use, but that is not the case here. You will have to import that data into your database, and then use it from there. So once you have that data in your database, you can then just make a query that will use the ID from the parameter {loc_physical_ms} from the database as reference for your query.
I'm looking to obtain all of the available fields from the ArcGIS REST API. Here is the query link: https://services1.arcgis.com/zdB7qR0BtYrg0Xpl/ArcGIS/rest/services/ODC_CRIME_OFFENSES_P/FeatureServer/225/query
There are some ObjectID fields that I'd like to see.
Which is leaving out fields like:
DISTRICT_ID, NEIGHBORHOOD_ID and IS_CRIME
Does anyone know how to craft a query that would return all fields? Thanks!
Set outFields to *
You should really check out Esri's documentation on their REST endpoints as this is pretty commonly known. Next time do a bit of research before posting :)
I am using Nokia maps (Navteq, postgis DB).
Given a "link" I want to get all the "links" which belong to a bounding-box that map-match the same highway / route.
How can I do this using DB queries / Postgis?
Just came across this open topic. Do you know that HERE is meanwhile providing an online possibility for requesting linkIds within a boundingBox?
Further information can be sound here: Fleet Telematics Custom Locations
https://developer.here.com/documentation/custom-location/topics/key-concepts.html
And here is an example for a corridor search:
https://developer.here.com/documentation/custom-location/topics/example-search-corridor.html
That might be easier than host a database and then query the needed content.
Hope this helps.
Has anyone used Commission Junction's Product Catalog Search API for searching/fetching local deals? (BuyWithMe and KGBDeals post their deals to CJ)
There is a Yipit clone out there which uses this API. This clone was unable to categorize deals properly based on location. I was supposed to fix this issue. The problem I saw is: API's response does not contain location/city info. Therefore, deals cannot be categorized based on cities. This basically kills the purpose of local deals.
I am looking for advice from anyone who has done similar work using CJ API. May be I am missing something.
OneBigPlanet has an All-In-One API filled with all affiliate networks and daily deal providers for U.S & Canada
If you are going to use a deal aggregator API for your site/blog, you may want to take a look at this one as well.
SideBuy has recently released its version 1 API which lets the user (like yourself) connect to its comprehensive set of daily deals using several parameters to fully customize the listings. I suggest you check it out and get in touch in SideBuy's site if you need further assistance.

Can any one help me in finding the city name in the map when I give zipcode through iPhone application.
As Deepak suggested, a Geocoding API is almost certainly the way to go. Google and Yahoo both provide good ones that can convert zipcodes into city names.
Here's a sample Google query for zipcode: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=77048&sensor=true
And a sample Yahoo query for zipcode: http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?q=77048&appid=0
I don't think there is any feature built-in that will help you find the city name like this. You can look at Geocoding options such a Google's Geocoding API but then you might need a bit more info than zip code.
Created a little native tool that looks up city, state, and lat/long without using the network connection. Has a rather large (1.9MB) SQLite database to pull from, so don't include this if you can just query Google or another online API.
