Postocodes.io CSV Translation
A quick command line script to translate a CSV of postcodes (with postcodes in first column) into a list of results retrieved from the Postcodes.io API
Install
Since this is a command line script, you will need to install this globally
npm install postcodesiocsv -g
Getting Started
postcodesiocsv -i <INPUT_FILE.csv> -o <OUTPUT_FILE.csv>
This will return postcode,longitude,latitude by default. Specify your own output schema with the -s flag with properties separated by a comma
postcodesiocsv -i <INPUT_FILE.csv> -o <OUTPUT_FILE.csv> -s postcode,country,northings,eastings
You can specify the column index for where your postcodes will be using the -c flag. Note, this is zero indexed, so -c 1 represents the second column
postcodesiocsv -i <INPUT_FILE.csv> -o <OUTPUT_FILE.csv> -c 2
