= postcodeanywhere

This is an interface to postcode lookup service provided by postcodeanywhere.co.uk

you can use it as below:

1. gem install postcodeanywhere

2. In your environment.rb add the following lines PostcodeAnywhere::Request.account_code = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_CODE" PostcodeAnywhere::Request.license_code = "YOUR_LICENSE_CODE"

3. Then in your model or controller, a. To get a list of addresses PostcodeAnywhere::PostcodeSearch.new(:country_code=> "GB", :postcode => "sw19 1ne").lookup

   b. Then, to get a particular detailed address (to fill out your address form fields) PostcodeAnywhere::PostcodeSearch.new(:country_code=> "GB", :fetch_id => "24077031.00").fetch

4. Currently the fetch only works for UK and US. The other countries need different handling so it will be built when I have had a chance.

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
