## Postal Code Geocoder
This function geocodes your data into point, or polygon, geometries for postal codes. The postal code geocoder covers the United States, France, Australia and Canada; a request for a different country will return an empty response.

**Note:** For the USA, US Census [Zip Code Tabulation Areas](https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/zctas.html) (ZCTA) are used to reference geocodes for USPS postal codes service areas. See the [FAQs](https://carto.com/docs/faqs/datasets-and-data/#why-does-carto-use-census-bureau-zctas-and-not-usps-zip-codes-for-postal-codes) about datasets and data for details.

By using the SQL API to query the Data Services API functions, you can manage specific operations and the corresponding geometries (a `polygon` or a `point`), according to the input information.
The Data Services API decouples the geocoding and isoline services from the CARTO Builder. The API allows you to geocode data (from single rows, complete datasets, or simple inputs) and to perform trade areas analysis (computing isodistances or isochrones) programatically, through authenticated requests.
The Data Services API also exposes its services directly through the CARTO Builder. For example, you can geocode data (from single rows, complete datasets, or simple inputs) and to perform trade areas analysis (computing isodistances or isochrones) programatically, through authenticated SQL requests, or by using the ANALYSIS options.
The geometries provided by this API are projected in the projection [WGS 84 SRID 4326](http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/wgs-84/).
