How this service works
Validate a UK postcode and report its normalised form, format validity, and whether it is currently active.
Output
Returns whether the postcode has a valid UK format, its normalised (correctly spaced and uppercased) form, and whether it is currently active in the Royal Mail postcode database.
Example use cases
E-commerce checkout address validation
“Before we process this order, can you validate that the postcode 'EC1A1BB' the customer entered is a real, active UK postcode and show me its correctly spaced form?”
User registration form pre-check
“A user just signed up with postcode 'wr26nj' — can you verify it's a valid and active UK postcode and return the normalised version so I can store it correctly?”
Bulk data cleansing spot-check
“I've got a record with postcode 'B11 4HQ' — can you tell me if it's properly formatted, valid, and currently active in the UK?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://postcode-api-production.up.railway.app/lookup/validateWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to confirm that a user-supplied UK postcode string is correctly formatted AND currently active, without needing full geographic lookup data. It is lighter and faster than a full postcode lookup and is ideal for form validation, data cleansing, or pre-flight checks before enriching an address with coordinates or admin boundaries.
Side effects
- Postcode string missing or empty — likely returns validation error or invalid flag
- Non-UK postcode submitted — will be flagged as invalid format
- Malformed JSON body — returns HTTP 400
- Discontinued or terminated postcode — valid format but marked inactive
- Network or server error — HTTP 5xx from Railway-hosted service
