Postcodes from JSON was created by Steve Thomas
Our site uses PHP, not Joomla. I'm writing a PHP script to update our locally held venue data postcodes. (They currently use 8 digit grid refs and we're moving to 12 digits). Instead of using our ancient PostCode table I intend to use postcodes.theramblers.org.uk/index.php?e...dist=10&maxpoints=20 . This returns the 10 closest postcodes to a given 12 digit grid ref together with the distance of the centre of the postcode area from the specified location. This seems to be too many results. All I would do with more than one is work out which was the closest and use that. This has already been done in the data supplied.
The url accepts parameters "dist" and "maxpoints". Setting maxpoints=1 still returns 10 results. Setting dist=1 also returns 10 results. Does anyone use this and if so can you advise how In can reduce the number of results?
