GeoIP2...Postal(3pm)

💌 NAME 💌

GeoIP2::Record::Postal — bestie, this is the lil record that holds all the postal code data tied to an IP address 🏤✨

It's part of the GeoIP2 Perl fam, and the manual page you're reading rn is GeoIP2...Postal(3pm), so hi, you're in the right place 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.006002 — that's the one, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole vibe in code form, copy-paste ready:

use 5.008;

use GeoIP2::WebService::Client;

my $client = GeoIP2::WebService::Client->new(
    account_id  => 42,
    license_key => 'abcdef123456',
);

my $insights = $client->insights( ip => '24.24.24.24' );

my $postal_rec = $insights->postal();
print $postal_rec->code(), "\n";

like. you spin up a client, you ask for insights on an IP, you grab the postal record, you print the code. main character behavior fr 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This class contains the postal code data associated with an IP address. That's the whole job. It's giving "small but mighty" 💖

Heads up tho: this record is returned by all the end points except the Country end point. So if you're hitting Country, don't come looking for a postal code, she's not there 🙈

---

👑 METHODS 👑

This class provides the following methods, and honestly? Short list. Iconic. We love efficiency.

🌈 $postal_rec->code()

This returns the postal code associated with the IP address.

But listen — postal codes are not available for all countries. And in some countries, this will only contain part of the postal code. So don't be shocked if it's a lil incomplete, it's not broken, that's just how it be 😭

This attribute is returned by all end points except the Country end point.

🌈 $postal_rec->confidence()

This returns a value from 0-100 indicating MaxMind's confidence that the postal code is correct. Slay, a whole percentage of certainty 💯

⚠️ This attribute is only available from the Insights end point and the GeoIP2 Enterprise database. If you're on anything else, she simply does not exist. Don't @ me.
